Half a million millenial men are missing from the labor market

[bodeine brazy]

Union cement truck driver here.

31 an hour, ot after 8, ot Saturday double time Sunday. Free health care, free dental, pension, company match 401k.

Am I gonna get rich? Nah, but I’ll be just fine.

At my job you can expect to make 70k-120k depending how much you wanna work, if you take a lay off in the winter etc.

Forgot to say I’m the lowest paid of the trades but I love this job. Taking a 95k pound truck and driving through two feet of mud is the life for me.

Concrete finisher pays 41 an hour
Brick layer 38
Crane operator 40
Dozer or any other big iron pays 40
Diesel mechanic 36
Pipe fitter 50+

I’m telling you guys, get an apprenticeship get paid to learn instead of go in debt to join the rat race. Our jobs are fun as hell and pay good.

I can feel the radiance of this post

Old folks not retiring

I think a majority of old folks don't retire simply because they will lose out on their benefits.

I think a majority of old folks don't retire simply because they will lose out on their benefits.

Companies are finally starting to force them out with voluntold buy outs.

They're inflating payroll for no real gain which is working to millennial favor.

 

[mplsdunk]

Damn I can’t believe vice actually mentioned a decline in unions.

That’s true, unions used to keep these companies in check now you got cats working at amazon pissing in bottles because they are afraid to ask their boss for a piss pass like they are in kindergarten.

Unions are still massive here but they are getting killed off in red states and wages are reflecting that.

Unions will always be big in the north east and California though.
