I want to know why I just saw on CNN today they are paying $18 an hour? It seems to be these low ball places are like some sort of staffing company pulling $5 off the top for their pockets! $13 is no where near enough with the people getting sick doing this but $18 is getting a bit closer to what it should be.

I'm sure people will probably work for that, I'm just pointing out that BP is paying $18 an hour according to CNN. Also people have been getting sick doing this and I figure the higher wage might make it more worth it to these people.

I agree. $13 per hour is really low for dangerous work where your health could be in danger, especially if someone needs to relocate in order to do this.
Oh I know that but it should be more like the staffing companies charging $23 an hour and the workers getting the $18 for this type of work. $13 an hour to risk your health I dont see being worth it. I just saw a story on the news the other day that people that cleaned up the exxon Valdez spill still have health issues today. Is that worth $13 an hour?
Look how many jobs they created! This will surely correspond with a record day for stocks tomorrow.
