This means a janitor cleaning toilets in an Army base somewhere in Arkansas will be making $15 an hour (double the average wage for rural Arkansas).
I think the chicken chokers get about 12 bucks an hour to start.
My wife’s sister lives near one of the processing plants on the MO/AR border.
It’s been a strange progression.
The Mexicans displaced all the white hilljacks.
Then Somalis displaced all the Mexicans.
So you go into town and all the signs are Spanish and Arabic.
Why not?
“This means a janitor cleaning toilets in an Army base somewhere in Arkansas will be making $15 an hour...”
Gotta say that kind of job probably deserves at least $18 an hour. Cleaning toilets at an Army base!
