Costco paying $29.50 per hour?

I guess they are unionized. Didn't know that, but that's $60,000 a year. I think they start you at $17 an hour so she must have been there a while.

Convenience store a few miles from my house in Edmond starting pay is $13/hour with a raise after 30 days. Says so on the door. Across the street is section 8 housing. Place still can’t find people to work.

Hobby Lobby is raising their minimum wage to $18.50 an hour in 2022. It’s going to cause even more inflation in construction costs (especially around OKC area) as subcontractors aren’t going to be able to compete with that pay scale for a job where people get to work inside a warehouse (or store) every day.

Damnit. My wooden crosses and picture frames are about to be unaffordable..

it's been going on for a while...my yard guy is telling me he's having to pay through the nose to keep his help because of the competition.

Good.

So we didn’t need that $15 national minimum wage after all? Huh.

You mean the labor MARKET is determining wages and not the nanny state? SHOCKED I tells ya!

Starting wages for oilfield truckers was loony last time I saw. Good for the working man, I guess...

I don’t think those wages are causing increases at the pump.

The oilfield has always been the great equalizer in that it doesn't care how much education you have or what background you came from; it's all about work ethic and your ability to follow directions.
