McDonald’s workers need two jobs to make ends meet.

Such is the assumption of “Practical Money Skills,” a budgeting guide created by Visa Inc. and Wealth Watchers International for McDonald’s Corp. employees. A sample budget assumes workers with two jobs earn $2,060 a month, or $12.88 an hour, for a 40-hour week. U.S. fast-food cooks, on average, make $9.03 an hour, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said in March.
