Yeah, I toured some of those factories,…$12/hour for a welder, or working fabrication machinery in a factory, just seems like so little.
These are important, and high-skill, and sometimes dangerous, trade jobs, and the only reason some of these people can make it by is because the cost of living isn’t terribly outrageous.
But it would be incredibly difficult to try to support a family with what is considered a “real” job.
“real jobs” are going to have to start paying more or people aren’t going to do the work.
