    This is really interesting. I had always been told Longshoreman make $50 an hour average…

      Maybe that’s with overtime or something. ILA top out at $39/hour.

      The contract they want would be $69/hour after three years. That’s about $144,000/year.

      I clearly should not have gone to college.

          No, I think it’s better if most white-collar jobs make less than blue-collar jobs. Someone needs to line the pockets of the c-suite. That will make less people go to college and less people aspire to bullshit jobs that don’t do anything. Like the world needs another app developer, full stack developer, or middle manager. I think we’re all set with that.

        That’s definitely going to be the overall average once you include about 4 hours of overtime
