Machine operator making $100K???

This may be an extreme case, but I agree with the article, the lack of high paying jobs is hurting the recovery along with a number of other causes, real and imagined.

Ok, Do we feel sorry for him? Not sure.
I had two Bachelors and 20 years experience before I started making above 100K.

I sure hope he’s been socking some of that away in some form.

I know a guy who was earning $100k in a Ford engine plant in 1988! Drilling holes. That included overtime.

That was exactly my thought. High school graduate makes 6 digits. No wonder we are not competitive.

He might have been a tool & die maker. Try to explain that to a reporter and it comes out "machine operator".
