Grace -

...The difference between that minimum wage job they can get with Manpower a day at a time and one that pays $15/hour is: $100 worth of tools, some form of transportation to the jobsite and the ability to show up on time regularly. Not exactly high hurdles.

Can you please elaborate on the $15/hour job?

Union or other certification required?

Market determined wage rate or not?

Private contracted or public works?

If the wage is market determined, is the market affected by existing public projects sopping up labor and their possible non-market wage rates?

TIA, Don
