Well, minimum wage around here is kind of a joke... The "legal" wage is $7.25, however so many of the "workers" I know are happy to work for a 6 pack and a few cigs every day...
My personal minimum wage is $12 and hour, and this next year it is going up to $15. That covers:
Physical labor.
If my 4 wheeler (hauling brush), chain saw are involved, or I am disposing of the brush (hauling to my place and burning) it automatically goes to $20
If two or more of the above are part of the job, then it is $25.
If I am running equipment it is $15.
And then I buck hay for $10, but that will go up to $12 this next year. I only do it so cheap just because I am bored, and at that price I can beat out the local drunks and drug heads that try to beat me to the work!
Here is a good story about bucking hay... The neighbor makes smaller 60 lb bales (heaviest) and they ran an add through the other neighbors looking for bale handling help every night for two weeks (6000 bales 7 guys)
Said that they already had 6 guys, all family and needed one more, I just decided to show up, because they knew me. I show up, and so does another guy RIGHT behind me in his truck, but of us wanted the job (had no clue who he was) we went and were talking to the boss, and he said that he would talk to each of us separately real quickly and hire the cheapest!
He spoke to the other guy first, and then he came to talk to me, he then tells me "Bryce, this idiot said that he would work for $8 and hour, what do you want?"
I told him that I would be happy to do it for $12 an hour, and that I would put 2 on the trailer at a time...
He smiled and told the other guy to leave.. And I held my end of the deal up, and after 27 hours of work, I was paid $400, and a very sincere thank you!
