I’m sorry, but who the fuck highlights in dark blue?

I worked in a foundry around 5 years ago and it paid 12.50 an hour.

We had an all hands meeting a couple years ago at work to help drive the company recruiting program as we were really struggling to find staff. I asked what the minimum starting pay for someone with no experience was as that’s pretty damn important information.
The range given was $1-2 an hour lower than the McDonald’s less than a mile away which had better education benefits. Why the hell would a smart kid come to work for us when there’s half a dozen ways they could die in plain view and making a mistake scraps a part worth more than their lifetime earnings? Of course they’re gonna go to McDonald’s where if they make a mistake they just make another Big Mac, they’ll earn more money, and if they show up on time and sober they’re a rockstar employee…

Something is “dull, dirty and dangerous” and pays close to service industry and they wonder why they can’t get anyone? Oh noes! Now they HAVE TO automate!

I know that seeing the decades long dismantling of both safety and labor protections for workers certainly makes me want to spend 40 hours a week next to giant vats of metal heated to 1500 degrees Celsius.

Play $100 per hour and a pension, and you’ll get thousands of applicants every single day.
Pay $7.25, and suddenly, “no one wants to work anymore.”
The economy is just too complicated for some people whose jobs depend on them bot understanding it.

It’s *insane* they expect foundry workers at 30k a year

Of course. Just let pay per 100 dollars per hour. So simple. Problem solved.
