Pay is not real good here in Charleston area. Most people speak of what they make, and I am betting it has to do with overtime or benefits, as a offer letter would promote, to make it sound like you get allot.

Here's salary info re: Volvo
"The starting wage for Volvo production workers is $17 an hour, and the hiring process can take up to three months. Applicants need a high school diploma or GED equivalent, a WorkKeys certification and one year of manufacturing experience." Source: https://charlestonbusiness.com/news/automotive/74077/

If no manufacturing experience, this unpaid program is available through Trident Tech: Volvo Recruitment | readySC

Sorry, I was referring to the Boeing salary you mentioned.

Boeing is cutting its production in half in North Charleston and expects to be facing a new reality for demand of its product on the other side of the coronavirus. And so it begins.

Boeing is hurting hard. They just terminated their deal with Embraer as well.

BenefitFocus is laying off 250 or 17% of its workforce, "citing financial stress from the coronavirus pandemic."

Definitely look at Volvo, Boeing is going to be downsizing for a few years due to travel issues with the Covid crap.

Sounds like a lot of companies were overstaffed to me. In the service sector, nobody is laying off unless directly related to hotels, tourism and restaurants.
