I mean $11.50 an hr is way to much to be paying someone working a drive thru
OMG! I guess we're getting down to the short hairs here! This is really where we have come to.


Yea, do the math. What is minimum wage now? like $7. You up it to $11.50 then what? You think people have more buying power? No you just increased the cost of every industry that now pays minimum wage. Those industries are now forced to raise their prices accordingly. Now that $6 meal you used to buy at the drive thru will run you maybe $10. Well for that you could buy a burger at a sit down place. Their prices won't change due to the fact waiters and waitresses make tips and are exempt from minimum wage. Thus the fast food industry loses business due to people not wanting to pay those higher prices and they get shut down. Same could be said for any industry like that.


You are right to some degree. but what a smoke screen. min goes up a quarter and a candy bar goes up 15 cents.

not realistic. its opertunisim at our expence.

You wanna really change this country?

Then we need a Grass roots movement to make serving in Public office a SERVICE and not a CAREER!!


We need Term Limits from Judges to every senator Rep. in washington or in any state or local govt.

Where someone goes thier to try and make a difference instead of after a couple of terms its u pad me I will pad yours.
This is IMO the only way we will get this country back to where it once was

This is a global economy.
You got that right. NAFTA is the ruin of America. Personally, I'm kinda patriotic. Guess that may be obsolete.


U R Right ondrinker NAFTA was a Horrible new trade agreement that made the rich richer and the poor poorer

Average teachers salary... 40 thousand.

Average income nation wide. 30 thousand. Yep teachers are so underpaid... NOT.

You are right this is a national problem. It goes way beyond the simple changes trying to be made in Wisconsin.

Cuts of budgetary spending are necessary or the states will become insolvent. We can not allow our states to become insolvent so the Federal Government will have to assume their debt... This will cause the Federal Government to become insolvent... simple math.

If these cuts are not made the alternative will be to start releasing workers to unemployeement... (causing a swelling of that drain and we are right back to the insolvency above).

Economists are responding to this situation as though they are dealing with a recession or depression... This is neither.

You can not increase the money supply as has been done in the past because in the past they were dealing with an expandable system... Now however they are dealing with a global system (which means it is now a closed cycle system... there is no expansion possible). Increasing the money supply in a closed cycle system will simply decrease the worth of the entire system.

FACT CHECK THAT.


OK!

Its like I said, This country is too full of middle men who do nothing!

And dragoness, I DON'T love everybody. If you love people so much why not take some of the street lurker trash into your house if you love everyone so much! There is a reason I learned the hard way to not trust or love everyone! I "love" very few people!

Now again it is not just the DNC or the GOP who have failed us. BOTH sides have failed us miserably. Threaten a Union and they all come running but does that make their minority voice right? NO!

If you can't live on 40K a year go FUQUE YOURSELF! I have to make due with a LOT less! Bunch of whining azzholes! Get a life! Welcome to the reality of things here! We live in a deregulated economy and speculators are running rough shod over our azzes!

that didnt come through so well

basically though, degrees mean alot,

public school teachers will usually HAVE to have a bachelor degree and their wage is about in line with the average for those holding bachelor degrees

and then the longer they stick in the job and do well at it, the more they have an opportunity for 'promotion'(like any other job)

I want to jump in here, I don't expect a response,,if yo do please be aware that I have been in this business over 30 years in all levels.
In Oregon State:
Corporate Employee
Independent Contractor
Sales Rep
Instructor State Certified by the board of education.
Manufacturer rep and educator/platform artist
so what am I?? I am a licensed Barber, Hairdreser, Estitician, Manicurist and Certified by Oregon Board of Education to teach all the above.

Ok..this Industry, is oversaturated, yet at this time there are more schools than ever. you can get federal aid, ussually you dont have to pay it back. for others there are student loans and of course some parents decide to pay the tuition.
first of all. what is the pay??? well it varies,,,there is no union that is active for us in Oregon. a Manager of a Corporate hairsalon,,an dI recently was one for 2 years solely to bring my wife at that time into the USA. the uscis does not look very fondly at self employment and they really go back far,,,for me ,,I took a very big leap..I got that corporate Manager job..what does it pay? I will be straight with you even though most wont. it pays minimum wage to sometimes 30 cents above.,.and yes I am talking about them all! in Oregon that comes to 8.40 per hour and usually told that you have to keep your hours between 35 and 40 a week. lol,,,if you are still reading this you could be thinking a lot of things..
Why is it so popular? simple deception...remember,,I worked at the school..I know what is said to new students,,by the way it costs for that full licsence excluding the teaching Certificate about 20,000 sometimes less but you will find that is usually not all the above.
why would you pay that much to make minimum wage?
why would the federal goverment use your tax dollars to put people in a program that will most likely put them right back on welfare or looking for another job entirely?
I have asked these questions many times and thought seriously what would happen if we could have a union? most salons dont have "unity" within the salon itself..let alone a group of salons all joining a common cause.
I have decided to go back to being self employed though I keep myself busy I have my own plans.
I am putting this in this thread because of the talk of incomes and unions..
I put this in here because I wish to raise the awareness of what is going on in a industry that is highly controlled,policed and yet berated and belittled in so many ways it is just sad.
average income 24,000 a year... on the high side it was rated at 35,000 a year. the low was 16,000 a year ( I don't believe any of it)
but I will do some more investigation,,and another statistic..how many have just quit and still owe the student loan...I know that about 5 out of ten cashiers I meet tell me they went to beauty school and they just couldn't believe what they ended up with from what they were told.
the price of a haircut here is less than it was 30 years ago.
there are always exceptions. I am referring to the norm.. the usual situation. lol,,,I will have to take the time to write a thread,,I don't because I don't believe that people really care. some do!,,but they are not the majority.
If I have surprised or even raised an eyebrow than yay! if not,,than I am not so surprised.
thank you for reading this lengthy post.
