71. It's already happening. |
|
My son is a welder in South Dakota. Two of his coworkers with 8-year tenures resigned recently. One took a job that paid half as much, but was within walking distance of his home. He plans to sell his vehicle. He is now a manager at McDonalds. Says he'll be taking more home at $9.00 / hr with no commute than he could as a welder. In the rural areas, where people have been commuting 60 miles or more, it's no longer sustainable.
