Making America Great Again
Matt Hartwell
Its great to hear people in middle America having the opportunity to get more jobs. The pay isn't great at all, but the cost of living also isn't New York.
Its interesting to do comparisons with wage rates in Australia. Say at $36,000 after two years, that's about $45,000 AUD. That's equivalent to working in a full time retail job in Australia at adult rates and yet these people require the skills to work in a factory which is arguably a more demanding job. Not talking management, that's more like $55,000+ just standard retail salespeople. But of course, the cost of living would be substantially less in the U.S in terms of consumer products and many other factors. Cars themselves are a lot cheaper. Its just interesting doing the comparisons.
