Minimum wage in Iowa is $7,25/hr., or about $290/wk if they will hire you for 40 hours.
And that's before taxes. They can pay $6.35 for the first 90 days of employment/training/probation. Employers of tipped employees receiving more than $30 of tips a month may pay $4.35/hr. Before tax income. Lots of employers will only hire 30 hrs./wk to avoid paying benefits or only hire temp workers to avoid paying benefits.
Now let's all go buy $40K cars on these wages.
I'm so steamed right now. The condescending, filthy rich on Walls Street and in Congress need a rude awakening.
That new card credit thing is a fucking joke. A total slap in the face. Oh gee - I can deduct my interest payments?! WHOOP-FUCKING-EEEE! I might just run out and buy two! :banghead:
