If you consider a 40 hours work week a new recruit in the Military earns about $8.30 per hour. Most can earn the pay grade of E-3 in about 1 year. Then they earn $9.90 per hour.
Unfortunately a Soldier works much more than 40 hours per week. A conservative estimate would be 50 hours per week (if not deployed). This means the new recruit earns about $6.70 per hour and an E-3 earns about $7.90 per hour.
It is worth mentioning that Soldiers can be given an extra allowance of about $12 a day for food if they choose not to be on a meal card.
