If he was earning that as a wage, he'd be working long hours every day.

Depends on the rate. To quote Steve Martin, "All I've ever wanted was an honest week's pay for an honest day's work."

You and I could make Mr. Darcy wages on an hour of work a week, providing that we could find someone willing to pay it :-)
