My coworker in Taiwan was earning 25$ an hour which equated to 3,000$+ a month as a teacher, but he left to go to work in America in January for a job at Amazon at the same rate or 26$ (I forgot).
However, I am reading so many posts about being fired, laid off, and being paid at unsurvivable rates. What am I missing here? I thought wages are going up to attract workers.
In 2005, Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans' fast food, local stores, and other businesses paid everyone 10$ an hour to attract workers. Foreigners from around the world went there to make that money. I was earning 12.75$ as a manager at McDonalds while finishing my degree there, so is this shortage in specific areas? Are these high wages paid to ONLY certain positions?
