You started out in 92 at $8hr.. you know what min wage is here in FL? $8.46/hr
So 28 years later and people would be making a dollar or two more today than what you made in MA nearly 30 years ago and I bet you had benifits...
You know how much you'd start out at your paper mill job here in FL? $9/hr if you are lucky... Nearly 30 years later..
You know what jobs were paying here in FL when I was fresh out of HS in 91? $5/hr
That's what it's like to live in a Red State...
