Of course the hourly pay goes up hours go down and the cost of living goes up. It's funny seeing these memes about how 18-20 dollars an hour is the new 7.50 the problem is usually irresponsible spending and commitments

@SW-User Target pays a minimum of $15 an hour in my area, which is pretty good, but the catch is that they limit people to 30 hours so they are not full time and won't get overtime.

@DallasCowboysFan I made 36 dollars an hour bringing home less than I do now at 15.50. I learned a lesson about hourly pay after that job

@SW-User What kind of work were you doing?
Was it because you worked in a high expense city?

SW-User

@DallasCowboysFan no it was a bigger town but not a city it was a Walmart distribution center where I was making 36 and most weeks I was lucky to see 15 hours lol

@SW-User WM pays $36 at the distro center?
They only pay 15 at the stores.... and I don't think it is much better at the distro center in Dallas
But at least you don't have to deal with the public

SW-User

@DallasCowboysFan not dealing with the public was nice but it wasn't a good job and they only paid that much as a bait to draw people in. They hire you and you get good hours your first month and then go to 6 hour shifts 2 days a week
