What 人に使われていくら means here


> Speaker A: こんなバカげた仕事はさっさと終わらせて一服したいね。  
>  Speaker B: まあ、おまえらは人に使われていくらだからなぁ。  
>  Speaker B: 少し苦しいかもしれないけど、しっかり頼むぜ。

I don't understand the second sentence, いくら is "how much?" and だから means "it
is because..."

Can't make sense of it...




**～ていくら** (or more commonly **～てなんぼ** , where
[なんぼ](https://jisho.org/word/%E4%BD%95%E3%81%BC) is a kansai-ben version of
いくら) is a little slangy set phrase that means "to be worthy only if ～", "to be
meaningless without ～" or "to be all about ～ing". It works like a no-adjective
as a whole. This いくら/なんぼ is "how much (money)", so the original idea is that
you get paid only after doing something. But this is an idiom and can be used
outside business-related contexts, too. This だから is just "because" or "...,
so, ...", and here it adds the nuance of "you know what" or "you get the
point".

  * 俺たちは人を騙していくらの商売だ。  
俺たちの商売は人を騙してなんぼだ。  
Our job is all about deceiving someone.

  * ここに来たならあのステーキを食べてナンボでしょ！  
It's meaningless to come here if you don't eat that steak!

  * これは死んでなんぼのゲームだよ。  
This is a kind of game where you learn by dying many times.

  * おまえらは人に使われていくらだからなぁ。  
It's your job to let others push you around, you know.  
You guys are only worthy by serving someone else.
