Best Answer

There may be many reasons for it - some good, some bad and some in between:

One of them is the owner's relative;

The higher paid worker is more skilled (or faster);

The two workers may be in different locations - with different employment rates and costs of living (that is the whole point of multinationals sourcing overseas!).

The firm may have to justify its decision to anti-discriminatory agencies.

How much hydro does a 4800 watts heater use?

Your term "hydro" is another term for kilowatt hours. So to answer your question a 4800 watt heater on for an hour would consume 4.8 kilowatt/hours. To take it further if you knew what you pay for a kilowatt hour in your area, multiply it by 4.8 and you could see how much it costs you to operate the heater. An example if you pay .11 cents a kilowatt hour, the price would be .528 or 53 cents an hour.

How many watts are used in the average home every hour?

The number of watts used per hour is defined as a watt-hour or "wh". Electricity is normally billed as kilowatt hours or 1,000 watts per hour. Your electric bill will give you KWH number for the month so you could divide this by (24 x 30) to get an hourly average. As an example of the wide range of usage I have a town house rental that used 20 KWH in a month, and another large residence that used 2,900 KWH in a month. In this case the smaller house averaged 27.7 watts per hour and the larger house 4028 watts per hour.This answer is incorrect. A watt hour is not 'the number of watts used per hour'. It is the number of watts times the number of hours. There is no such thing as 'watts per hour'.
