What do Obama-stimulus weather-proofers make?
The Rocket (Slippery Rock Univ.) reports:
…The average core wage for an employee is $76,036, which is about $30,000 higher than the average wage for someone [in Pennsylvania] who is not in the shale industry…
what about pad bonuses?
The average Marcellus worker is a truck driver.
50+ per week is typical. 60+ not unheard of. You get a lot of overtime in the oil industry, and operators are highly paided for hourly employees to begin with. Factor in a few $100k senior engineers and your average is up to the mid-70s
AWESOME! I wonder what the hours put-in are, to gain $76K,–a great middle-class income, imo.
