Idaho BS thread in the PNW

Yeah I googled it after I asked. It is higher than federal but only by 10 cents. haha

It said WY is still $5.15. I don't understand how they are still under federal. Did they just tell the government fuck you? haha There were like 3 or 4 states that are still under the federal limit.

He bought a diesel.

 

idk..i know its 5.15 though cause thats what i got when i started as a projectionist at the movie theater haha then got a "raise" to 6.50 lol idk how that works..

 

Idaho was $5.15 and then they bumped it up to $7.15 when the feds raised it a few years back.

 

i always figured it was cause i never worked 40 hours a week so it was part time considered..Maybe thats how?

then again, most ranch hands make 6.50 and hour too i think..but work 12-14 hour days..

 

WY doesn't have any daily/weekly hour limits, nor does ID for that matter. When I was browsing that list, some states have laws that requires employers to pay time and a half for poeple that work more than 8 hours a day and/or 40 hours in a week.

I know a lot of places here will pay time and a half for anything over 40 hours in a week, but some don't. Must be more of a courtesy thing. Or like in walmart's case probably a company wide policy that fits into all state and federal regulations.

 

yea its a company based thing usually. i got time and a half in Ak though. aint no way a ranch hand gets tim and a half though haha

 

haha my first job was $3 a lawn..so like..1.25 an hour or something

turned that into a $20+ an hour though..

 

I made $3.25 an hour washing dishes at a restaurant my first job. The summer before I joined the Army I made about $6 an hour helping on my grandpa's farm and helping one of his friends build a house and garage. I worked from sunrise to sunset Monday thru Saturday. Made good money though for a high school student. haha

In the Army I make like $15 an hour on drill weekend but spend a lot of that in gas... and I make like $3.50 an hour during my 2 weeks of AT... If you don't count sleep I make like $4.75 an hour. haha

 

Never really thought about it before, but I'm making about $16 an hour give or take.

 

Hahah that's sucks ass dude. And minimum wage is minimum wage, even if you are part time. Unless the bulk of your income is tips, then of course it's less.

I know I can get time and a half for working. Over 40, but I'll never get to 40. I just don't work that much. Still get holiday pay tho

 

Walmart will flat out fire your ass if you go over your 40 causing them to pay you time and a half, unless it is pre-approved but that is super super rare. haha They are all about cutting expenses.

 

How do you know so much about walmart lol

 

Wow, Fuck I think our min wage here is 9.50 and at less than 35k a year you really hardly pay any taxes


Fuck to think of it the last time I made min wage which was 7.75 was back in 2000....... now well ummm lol

 

I worked there for a year and a half.

I saw a lot of states are looking to raise it to $10/hr in the next couple years. I think Washington has the highest right now at like $9.50/hour or so. Oregon was 2nd or 3rd at just shy of $9/hr.

 

Dodge needed brakes, ball joints, starter, and a lift pump ($1200) Tacoma needed an axle, lower balljoint, inner and out tie rod end, and a drop braket ($500)
Little sisters wedding my gift to her i bought booz for the wedding ($1000)

28.9% of my check goes to taxes and i barrely get anything back come tax season..
I make $22 an hour and ive been teching for 7 years it's good pay if you can get cars in the door and out in a decent time..

 

soooooo you in theory pay more taxes than a Canadian at your tax bracket.....

kind of crazy to know, I lose 38.9% every cheque to taxes, around 2% to benefits and another 5% to my retirement fund

If I wasnt married I would see around 10k a year in tax returns lol

 

my first job was picking coffee... anywhere from $40-$60....you could make $300 a day. just that it sucks ass. haha

as a lab tech im at $11 now

you guys remember that whole thing about how mcdonalds workers were demanding $15?

 

ha! tipping a projectionist?? hahaha yea right. I bet no one even thinks about the projectionist..haha

picking coffee? 300 a day? sounds like lawn work! my kinda job!

If i had REALLY gotten serious about lawns..i could have done 10-15 a day myself..and made 300+ a day too..

can't imagine what it would be like on rain days though when you can't mow..shit that would suck.

15 an hour for mcdonalds? haha my best friend in HS was a manager there. He hated it. But paid pretty well actually.

 

Ah, yes, I remember minimum wage...in the previous millennium.

 

something about how they were demanding higher wages
for an unskilled entry level shit job
because "it's impossible to live off a minimum wage salary!"



but kona coffee's taken a big hit because of a beetle infestation, so my possible $300 a day is now more than $600- I used to get .75 a lb, now it's $2.10

wait what the fuck am i doing here. haha
