U.S "Occupational Outlook"
(lemmygrad.ml)
depressing
Wait I genuinely thought truck drivers make way more than that. They used to right? What happened?
I work around truck drivers and one of them once said to me, "We handle a lot of money, we don't make a lot of money."
I can also tell you from observation that every driver out there seems to have expensive-ass truck issues every couple of months at least. There's always something going wrong with these trucks, always shit they're having to get fixed. They don't even bother getting the "minor" issues fixed like the connectors that make the trailer lights work, a lot of the time. It's the wild west out here
They used to make a lot of money, but it hasn’t kept up with inflation and their costs.
What happened to the Teamsters I thought they had a stranglehold on transport and could demand a hefty wage?
Their leader is doing speeches at the RNC and decrying "woke"
Yeah I guess I meant what happened to their ability to bargain for good wages
It all started when the AFL-CIA kicked out all the communists. Eighty years later, there’s no militancy, no radicals, just labor aristocrats preventing agitation.
Considering this is an average of the whole nation, I encourage you to look up the pay for rural areas and even semi-rural areas.
Or look at abysmally low pay for high CoL areas like in Florida.
It’s sad enough software enguneers are making >100k but at least they have technical how to do beneficial things.
Financial MANAGERS, management analysts (seriously, fuck you and fuck us for pretending it’s a totally a thing) making that much is par for the course for this entirely fake fucking economy in burgerland. One of the great mysteries how this farce of a society hasn’t completely collapsed under its own weight
Imperialism.
Why shouldn’t software engineers earn that much?
I am a jealous analog engineer
I was just thinking how my generation is going to be living in a world with more old people than I previously imagined
I'm from Buenos Aires and I say let 'em rot
Did they really grouped all the labourers with transport workers and it's still such a small number?
I’m curious if countries with universal healthcare systems have as much demand for jobs in the medical field.
Um, where are podcasters and streamers?
Those aren't even jobs.
i bet there will be robots that will be able to do the jobs of CNAs O_O
