I hope it is worth it

It is estimated that 360.4 billion emails are sent every day.

It is estimated that 18% of them are opened.

55,152,000,000 emails opened each day.

If 1% of them include the phrase “I hope you are well,” then it is one of 551,520,000.

Five hundred fifty-one million “I hope you are wells” each day.

If it takes the average person 1 second to process those words, then:

Nine million one hundred ninety-two thousand minutes are spent each day doing so.

(That’s 153,200 hours.)

The average U.S. worker is paid approximately $28 at the time of this post.

OECD data gives a developed world rate of around $20 an hour.

At the U.S. rate, it costs $2,177,738.00 each day for everyone to process, “I hope you are well.”

At the developed world rate, over 1.5 million dollars a day.

Even at a rate of $5, it costs us $383,000 a day.

I hope it’s worth it.
