Taking the average number of hours worked per year by Americans here https://www.freshbooks.com/hub/productivity/how-many-hours-do-people-work-in-a-year https://www.freshbooks.com/hub/productivity/how-many-hours-d... 3,000 / 1,936 = $1.55 more pay per hour. Nothing to sneeze at when you make minimum wage (which they don’t all make), but hardly “transformative” imo.

Anything helps when you are in that situation. An additional $3k can pay for the family dog for a full year including vet visits. Or upgrade their child's school supplies. Or get new tires or work boots.
