Gas is down, the economy is booming and wages have doubled...entry-level factory workers can expect
$18.00 to 21.00 per hour with benefits. Retail workers are paid about $15.00 per hour and are demanding and getting full-time hours. I don't understand all the negativity. Pre-pandemic, sometimes you went to the store and they were out of something....just in time sucks.
