Min wage in Vermont is around 8.60/hr. Course, it depends on the job but at the Bush if ya had a good work record you start at lower positions 9/10/hr. One of the major reasons for all the development at Jay, new hotel, water park, Ice Haus etc is to make it more of a yearround resort but some jobs are seasonal.
Did you try looking at the jobs availible on their website? Might answer some of your questions. A friend started as a liftie a couple of years ago at Jay, he started at around 10/hr. Not exactly livable wages unless your prepared to live the frugal life, at least at first.
