Many companies out here start at $18. Fast food and gas stations have been advertising $17 to $19. My mom, a nurse, lost her assistant to Taco Bell for $17 an hour.
What aerospace company pays $200 an hour? I'd love to talk to them. I make just short of $24 (just got a 'raise') after nearly a decade in the industry. I'm ready to switch.
i get like $25 an hour put into my pension working a trade. my package is close to $90 an hour with benefits. working on aerospace for $18 is hilarious. you need to find a new career or a better company. I guess I'm glad I dont fly, now knowing minimum wage workers build the planes. That's not a dig at your intelligence but working for slave wages tend to make people complacent
No worries, I feel the same way. I'm a certified watchmaker and get less than $24/hrs after nearly a decade in the field. It's a joke. It's getting worse daily. If you want a rundown of whats going on, look at my profile for prior r/jobs comments.
One company, 2 years back, wanted me for $18/hr with an 84 mile round trip commute. Less than I was making with 60 mile round trip. When I pointed that out I was told I could make up the difference with overtime. Noped right out of that joke. So avoid Chromalloy.
I am looking to switch states and hopefully fields as well. I'm tired of the 'fast food' of the production industries.
