I was once paid $138 a month plus room, board and transport to be a hired thug by the government in a place called Viet-nam. Oh yeah, they also provided health care and a $10,000 life insurance policy. I think I was underpaid. Fortunately my mother did not collect the life insurance.
As far as working anywhere you need at least $20 per hour on a 2,000 hour year to afford even basic housing, food and transport. I dont mean a house in the suburbs. I mean an apartment in a three decker, cheap high starch (no steaks and few veggies) cook your own supper and a very well used old car. Not exactly the American Dream. The Dream has been put on hold all over the country.
If these people think I should compete for a less than minimum wage jop please check with my first employer.
