A $10 an hour wage is a job and I applaud all who work for their own living.

It’s 400 a week and 1600 a month and about 20000 a year. Anyone who thinks it’s easy to live on that should try it. It’s possible but very hard if you figure housing alone will take about 500 a month of it just about anyplace.

So, a lot of folks look at the difficulty of the job compared to $10 an hour. Hard physical at 10...no. Repetitive, not physical, yes. And they continue to wait for something better.

So, hard physical labor jobs expecting takers at low wages are playing the illegals under the table game. Just my opinion.

or do the hard difficult job WHILE you are waiting for something better is the old way.

In many places you can’t even rent a room for 500/month.

That being said, 10/hr is fine when you are 20 and can share an apartment with buddies.

If your 30 or 40 making 10/hr something went wrong.

But their are not nearly enough middle and high paying jobs in this country. The results of generations of a cheap labor policy.
