There seems to be a misunderstanding -- There are only the two (brothers) -- Which being equal partners and the only employees of their salvage firm... So... I imagine they split the 'profits' equally...Paultry $1k/day? It is not likely that that money was split equally. The skilled manual laborors (took in $12 to $20/hour) and the unskilled likely 7.25 to $10. If the average you calculated was $1000/day (125/hour) the owner/manager of a squad four was pulling in a healthy sum by the end of the fortnight, he has an interesting business and his employees have a bit of food on their plates but rent will have to be paid with income from their second job.
FWIW My calculations were as follows:
$820*24 Tons = $19,680 ≈ $20k
$20k/10 days =$2k
$2k/2 laborers = $1k per day (each) --- Prior to taxes & expenses...
