$65,000 A Year? Bye, U.S. Auto Workers!

You are rather intelligent in your judgement. Now you see what we have to deal with constantly. It's clear bridges have been burned all around him. Learning Richard is fast becoming an island, especially one FAR out there.

Yeah right... and if the USA unemployment rate falls below 6%, the inflation genie will be let out of the bottle.

You still wear wide ties and flared polyester too?

Geese, My daughters college tuition is $11k per semester. Where the hell did you get that number ? You can't live on Wal-Mart wages unless you call a cardboard box home.

Put it in perspective. This guy Sean is the type of person who shoots deer and then runs after them until they fall.

That is a choice you have made. Most people don't go to $44K schools. If WalMart is paying $50K then I will be standing in line applying for a job there soon.

Hey Jay! Ever heard of a paragraph?

par·a·graph Pronunciation Key (pr-grf) n. A distinct division of written or printed matter that begins on a new, usually indented line, consists of one or more sentences, and typically deals with a single thought or topic or quotes one speaker's continuous words. In grammar is a group of sentences that encloses the main idea and 3 supporting sentences.

The main reason for paragraph and puncuation use is for eas of reading...

"In addition, this excerpt has been broken into shorter paragraphs for ease of Internet reading."

"The longer paragraphs have been split for ease of reading and some very long sentences broken apart for the same reason. "

B.S. $50k is plenty to live a decent life for a small family. It sure would not be "poverty".

Worldwide demand has driven up the price of oil. The problem is this. Once the forgein companies built aassembly plants in the US, they were able to deliver cars at the same rate at the American companies.

Competition inproves quality and lowers prices, but the American companies cannot lower prices and make a profit if they have higher labor costs.

The majority, if not all of the forgein manufacturers use less expensive, non-union labor.

US car companies have to cut costs in order to lower prices, in order to move vehicles.

Labor costs make up the majority of any company's costs.

Something has to give.

The guy who installs the brakes and airbags should get twice what a doctor makes.

SO, if this is true then should a mechanic make 2 X $65K per year?

If so, I shall go to mechanics school starting tomorrow morning!!!

Priorities:

  1. A person with a high school or GED education is worth K per year
  2. A doctor with an 8-year college education should only earn 0K per year.

I say #1 is very wrong and #2 is spot on.

Who agrees?

ps. When those brakes and airbag fail you in a wreck, care to guess who it is that is going to save your life? Hint:It isn't an auto worker.

Not unheard of.

Feel free to ask for recommendations.

Ever hear of Bill Gates?

For some, that would be way overpaid.

Intelligence/worth isn't measured by how long someone stayed in school.

What if he's a volunteer EMT?

Doctors think too highly of themselves. They need to come back down to the ground once and awhile. Some are great. Too many others make serious mistakes and take rather than save lives on a regular basis, quietly shuffling over to the next regional hospital once the body bag count gets too high at their current abode.

Same with college professors. Some are damn good, Others are pompous old farts in need need of a serious colon cleaning.

Bottom line:

Where I live , just outside of NYC metro area, $65k is considered average median household income. A small house on a quarter acre lot will cost you no less than $400k with $14k of property taxes. $35K a year will buy you a cardboard box in an alley or a tent in the woods.

People would not need a total compensation package worth $65k a year if the doctors, insurers, lawyers, and korporate Amerika were not so greedy.

See you at wally world.

To live on the equivalent of $30K in most of the Midwest would take about $80K in northern New Jersey and probably double that in Manhattan.

Umm... How do you get 2080 hours in a year "not including holidays and overtime"? Mistakes like this make like this make anything you say suspicious.

Says you, a person who is less than accurate, to say the least.

Define "well over", Mr Facts.

2080 is the normal 40 hour work week per year including vacation time . Over eight and over 40 hours are overtime as well as the overtime premium paid for holidays worked

Dizzy,

I made no mistakes.

40 hours a week times 52 weeks a year equals 2080 hours worked, base pay. Read your check stub to make sure your boss is not ripping you off.

7.65% is any employers FICA contribution foreach employee, just call your payroll department. You should know what your boss takes out of your paycheck,eh?

As far as my "well over" comment, fringe benefits are paid for by your employer, that cost plus the cost of your hourly wages combine to make the total cost the employer pays the employee. Your payroll department and/or your union rep should have explained all of this to you when you began your employment. In the case of the $51,000.00 base hourly wage, these other costs will account for the total cost being over $65,000.00

Frank, Dizzy has once again demonstrated that his News Group name is well-earned! *lol* Methinks his name was chosen by the group members, based on the quality of his comments!
