Correct grammar for expressing cost per hour
We are re-doing much of the copy on our website and are not sure how to correctly express our labor costs. We charge $35 per worker, per hour.
Right now we have:
"$35/worker, per hour"
This feels clunky:
"$35 per worker, per hour"
So what is the right way to write that? Or, what is the most consumer-friendly way to write that?

Anonymous This feels clunky:"$35 per worker, per hour" I don't think it's too bad. You could also consider "$35 per man-hour". (I wouldn't get hung up on the "man" thing.

Here are a few possibilities.
$35/hr per worker / $35 an hour per worker
$35/hr, each worker / $35 an hour for each worker

$35/hr per worker / $35 an hour per worker
$35/hr, each worker / $35 an hour for each worker

$35/labor-hour
One guy, two hours = two guys, one hour
Four guys, one hour = two guys, two hours = one guy, four hours
One guy, two hours = two guys, one hour
Four guys, one hour = two guys, two hours = one guy, four hours
