Well, you could always sell the shrimp shack, go to work for Costco, and
double your family income.

Costco pays $30.00 an Hr?
Besides, about 2-1/2 years and I'm retiring, I'll start spending my
savings. Actually, my wife's says she is going to keep working, so
I'll probably sponge of her till I'm 66y and 3mo.

But the point is, welfare can be a damn good living, of course with
all that free time you might spend more money.

If each of you worked at Costco, you could make more than $30 an hour as
a couple.


I'm very surprised, I didn't know they paid that well!

Welfare is a crappy living.

Why do so many make it a lifestyle?

Only if both are managers.

Here they pay in excess of $15 an hour for regular workers. So couple
would make in excess of $30 an hour.

I've been out of the job market for 15 years, guess I'm behind the

You know, my comment was referring to being self employed, so I have
looked for a job in actually 21 years.

Yes a job and a half. I haven't followed wages because I have not
needed to apply for any job in 21 years. That's a damn long time.
I sure am getting old.

No it doesn't. Having a job means you are employed by OTHERS and
probably receive fringe benefits. Were you employed /////Uulico or did
you just do piece work?

According to glassdoor the average for associates is more like $11 and
you don't break the $15 barrier until you are some kind of supervisor.
California may be the exception, along with Hawaii, Alaska and parts
of New York.,

McD's pays $10.50 to start most urban places in California. And seems as
if the Mexican's they are able to hire, as they work, also can do math
better than the American kids.

It is actually pretty hard to find a minimum wage job here in Florida
and the ones you see are truly just day labor for people who may not
finish working out the week.

At my wife's club, the only minimum wage full time workers are making
double or triple that in tips. Some make lots more.
The "cart barn" is splitting about $500 a day in season from the tip
jar. (starters, bag boys and rangers) plus whatever cash they pocket
directly. It is against policy but not rare.
Most of the rangers and starters would do it for the free golf alone.
That is worth $50-100 a round in season depending on where they would
play.



According to the BLS, an awful lot of Floridians earn $10 an hour or less.
