There was a time when auto-workers did really well.

But those days are gone for the most part.

At least here in the US.

The new hires today make about the same money as new hires did back in the 70's.

And that's not adjusted for inflation.

Of course in places like South Carolina, where working the register at the Piggly Wiggly for $8.25 an hour is considered a good job, well then it looks pretty good.
