According to indeed.com, the average custodian in Texas makes $26,000 per year (7% lower than average Custodian salaries for job postings nationwide). According to salary.com, the median salary for a janitor is $24,560, and even at the 10% end of the bell curve, the salary is still $18,818, or more than twice what the people who are protesting are making.
