Sounds like you work for a smart company. Don't you expect them to make a profit?
I work for an even smarter company. They pay me $50/hr but charge our clients $150/hr for the work I do for them.

That's pretty standard, actually. I remember the first time I got a paycheck as a temp - $9 an hour, half of it went to the agency. It's only when your contract with them is for a different amount than what you get that there's a problem.

If you work for an employment company, who supplies employees for a firm, you get paid 11, but they pay the firm 17.95, this actually too cheap and they should be getting more than 17.95
They have to pay 7.5 percent of your pay for taxes, they have to pay the unemployment tax, they have to pay workers comp for you, and they have to pay the bookkeeping for you. Next they have to make a profit.
Normally most employment agencies will get twice the pay of the employee for the fee of supplying the worker.
So what is not fair about it, this is how they get paid and make thier profit

Question, do you get benefits as part of your pay? If so those costs have to be added to your hourly rate. Does the company provide health benefits for the contracted labor, bet you they don't. See how that balances the scale

They can do that. Yes, it's fair if you continue to work for them. If you don't like it you can get out.
They have a right to make a profit.

that company that you are contracted to has to make a profit from your labor.
Working there is your choice.
