Seems there has to be a competitive wage resaon behind it but why not 13.25 or 13.50. How do they come about a wage like 13.26 per hour? Weird thought, I know... but still. The other thought I had was, damn! working in the greenhouse pays pretty well. I'd have thought it would be a state minimum wage job for sure.
Because a non-rounded number appears to be scientifically calculated as the right number - and I am 99.7323% sure about that.
