Well, your probably right. I made 20.00 an hr. at my union job. I know plenty of truckers that made more, owner-operators, and plenty of drivers that made less. 20.00 an hour is about subsistence level pay. without my wifes income, we would have been poor indeed. I don't know how minimum wage workers do it. I never made less than 20.00 an hr. since the 70s, problem is, I never made more either, so were living on 70s wages in 2007 prices, even 2 incomes is not enough to live comfortably.
