Answer 1

It depends on the area - to get salaries of specific professions, you can use http://www.salary.com - it's free.

The average yearly American salary is $35,062 per year - or $16.86 per hour.

Answer 2

Roughly $35k-40k a year. And I would assume the manager is making way more unless one of those other 3 jobs works around the clock and makes a ton of overtime pay.
