In 1981 Meatcutters made $17-19 an hour. I drove a livestock truck, hauling mainly hogs to Detroit, and got to know some of the guys pretty well.
Today, I understand Meatcutters make about $9 an hour.
Outsourcing is not the only thing pressuring wages-Illegal immigration is too.

Illegals are doing the jobs Americans used to do years ago for $18 an hour but won't for $9 an hour today. And all so supermarkets can have $1.99 a pound ground beef specials.
