There hasn't been a better time to get a decent paying entry level job with little to no experience in that field. Burger joints paying $17+ per hour with benefits to flip burgers and ask do you want fries with that. If you can't find a job now, you're not really looking.

Same with target. $15-$24 depending on the position.

Maryland parks is hiring at $15 an hour for most positions.

been a long time since I had to work for $15 an hour. That's like $12 to $13 an hour with today's inflation. Dang it would be hard to get out of bed for that.

I would say for 15 an hour you should work at a steady pace where you won't get hurt but do give them a decent days work every day.

then again I think if everyone gave an honest days work productivity everywhere would be up about 60%

Fair pay is whatever you and your employer agree upon for the work being performed. If you feel $15 an hour is too low for the work you have to perform, that's fine,nobody forces you to work anywhere.

I 100% agree with your productivity statement. There's 9 of us in the shop and about half do about 5 hours worth of work in an 8 hour day. A few of the guys made comments about it and asked me what I thought. I told them thier lack of productivity doesn't bother me and I said as long as it doesn't keep me from getting my job done, I don't care if they find a corner and go to sleep, I'm not there boss and I don't pay them so I don't care what they do. I can't do that. The day goes by much faster if you stay busy.

Dave you should look for other jobs there is likely a place paying 16-8 an hour with benefits who would be happy to have someone who knew how to show up on time

the plants around me seem to be 16-18 an hour

my son makes 16 starting out the welders make more.

some of his friends work at the cheese plant make 19 with benefits and work 12 hour shifts with all the over time they are willing to take

I've asked coonman several times on here why he doesn't go get a CDL. He has a truck so must drive so what's the problem, couldn't pass something...? I'm sure he could find a safer environment with a CDL than sticking his head instead of a hydraulic press. But whatever, coonman will just coonman. It will be interesting after he starts collecting SS at 62 what he's manin beefs will be, besides not having any money...

You can make 15 an hour about anywhere around here 19 to start is common. Find another job then quit the one you have. Never quit first.

But I don't think you will it's scary to do something different once you are comfortable soms where. Plus you got and get great v advice every few months and never act on it

Yes to both. Keep your head low, your back and brain engaged and do that all day long. You'll find opportunity.
