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

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.

When I sort that table by mean wage, I see most of those $10 jobs are
people who get tips.

I admit there are a lot of agricultural workers who make **** money.
It is still a lot more than they could make in Guatemala.

I also notice there are not many, at all, making $7,.75, the minimum
wage here.



I didn't spend a lot of time looking at that long list of occupations
but after searching for 2 or 3 minutes I only found about 4 that paid
$10/hr or less.

One was for a "parking attendant" ... another for a "vehicle cleaner".
Forgot what the other two were.

Hardly "an awful lot" (Harry's words).

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.

Well, if you were pedo-harrys brother, you would be selling services to
small businesses and private individuals in Florida and then stealing
the money and running off...

WOW!
Maybe the average civilian in either country has little or no say in what it's government does...such as North Korea.
You are quite a piece of work, Bertie.

You have to remember that Boatless Bertie was a *United States Marine*
stationed stateside where he was exposed to all manner of dangers, such
as papercuts and dust motes in the eye.

Takes 4 to 10 civilians to support one soldier. Maybe they should rise up
and toss our the bad leadership.

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?
