$25 an hour is great for a lot of people, but if they only pay you for 10 hours a week that isn't great after all.
- tootie 6y agoThe $25/hr quote from a business owner in Idaho. The unrate in Idaho is currently 3.2%. There is probably just no slack in the labor market.
- blaser-waffle 6y agoI hear this all the time about other fields -- "there is a shortage welders" etc. But these jobs are 30-hours tops, or only for 8 months, or similarly limited, and often located in places like rural Missouri, where there is no overflow housing and nothing to do. For 50/hr -- yeah maybe. I'll be bored as shit and living in a shed, but that's decent money. But for 25/hr? Screw that, I'll pick up a side job here or something.
