Good luck with that pay rate today.

We have plenty of applicants that are not licensed journeyman or do not have as much experience required but can still grow with our business. These rates are competitive with the area market. Our applications are average for the market and these applicants are requesting pay within our range. We are growing and looking for people to grow with us and not be at the top or end of their growth.

Good luck with that pay rate today.

When I retired in 2014 my benefit package was more than that per hour.

When I retired in 2014 my benefit package was more than that per hour.

That is a great package and hopefully companies keep people long enough to offer packages like this. I have lived in several states and realized that each location had different rates, in fact I was told that by some employers that were hiring nationwide. The rate of pay is what the market will allow. The pay rate I got in Wisconsin and Maine was different than in Florida or the Carolinas. The cost of living is different. I had a discussion with an applicant from New York who wants to move to Greenville, SC. His rate of pay was higher than we could pay. I let the guy know what the going rate for the area was and told him to look into the cost of living. He has still continued with his application and agree to a much lower rate of pay if given the position.
