People will argue about anything.
Anyone asking about pay now isn’t even hired yet and would be making like $109/hr+ 2nd year. I looked at the last bid packet and saw the average line was 80.75 hours. I assume someone getting hired during this hiring boom might have a line by year 2.
109 x 80.75 = 8,800.
8,800 x 0.80 (tax) (No state income tax in FL and single benefits plan)
=7,000.
Add about 400 per deim ( pEr DeIm iSnT iNcOmE)
=7,400.
The math doesn’t seem outlandish to me, but like I said:
I’m not an expert and those are rough numbers.
Of course, if your situation is dramatically different than mine you can expect dramatically different pay
naturally deducting an entire family’s benefits and paying $800 a month to live in California will yield a different pay
