RE: Why work in manufacturing when you can make just as much on welfare?
_________________________
According to the article: “A manufacturing worker makes an average of $23.97 on hour as of October 2012. Manufacturing jobs are also more likely to come with good benefits than jobs in other industries, the Brookings Institute has reported.”
Also in the article: “... it would pay a $54,000 starting salary to a high-school graduate who could competently repair and maintain machinery.”
Are you telling me that someone on Welfare gets something equivalent to $24/hour or $54,000 a year plus benefits?
Many manufacturing jobs make pretty decent wages! I agree with you there!
X-box generation is not about to maintain machinery anyway. $24 a hour is nice but too tricky. They’ll be ok with fewer if it only takes to do nothing.
There have been numerous articles that you can make in that neighborhood with food stamps, welfare, and all the other programs out there.
you don’t get dirty either
Depends on how many children the sow has.
you forgot to factor in work ethic and character. There are a lot of people who would rather take lower income and not have to get up early and put in a full days work. Being grown-up is a thing of the past.
