World NutCase Daily is a birther, teabagger, conspiracy drenched site
for mindless right-wingers, a site with even less credibility than Fox
News, hard as that is to imagine. If you read and believe that site, it
is no wonder you are so ****ed in the head.

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

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

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.

If it is not true, tell me which war it was.

I know you will vote for hillary, even if what you say your beliefs
are do not conform to what you do.


I'm not a mindless rightie...I don't expect my candidates and I to be in
lockstep agreement on all the issues. You seem to have a hard time with
that sort of thinking.


List the top ten issues of Hilary's you disagree with.

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.

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.

http://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes_fl.htm


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.

Well, if you were pedo-harrys brother, you would be selling services to

You have to remember that Boatless Bertie was a *United States Marine*

as papercuts and dust motes in the eye.

Takes 4 to 10 civilians to support one soldier. Maybe they should rise up

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?
