Topic	Tax cut went towards stock buybacks, not wages
KamenRiderBlade 06/28/18 12:05:33 PM #73:	Esrac posted... I know I'm in the lowly unskilled labor pool right now, but my employer, for example, does basically refuse to raise wages in general. The starting wage in my department is $9 an hour and has been for years. The average raise per year is about 1%, so about as close to nothing without actually being nothing. Even though my department is constantly shorthanded because no one wants to drive out to this casino in bumfuck small town Louisiana to work a 10 hour shift for $9 an hour. They offer a 401K program, but they only contribute $0.25 for every $1 the employee contributes, up to 6% of the employee's wage. Get some real skills in a trade skill or specialist skill of some sort. Get away from that unskilled labor pool. Doesn't matter if it's carpentry, welding, plumbing, electrician, etc. Something that takes some brains. --- Are you a MexiCAN or a MexiCAN'T - Johnny Depp '*Once Upon A Time in Mexico*' <cite>KamenRiderBlade posted [p:904124904] in Tax cut we...
