Author Topic: Hourly wages at theater chains? Matt Fields Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 545 From: Ohio, United States Registered: Jun 2005 posted 11-09-2005 08:01 AM                     There is no such thing as a set "decent" wage. There are high wages and low wages, but "decent" is an opinion. The labor is only worth what it is worth.  |  IP: Logged Wolff King Morrow Master Film Handler Posts: 490 From: Denton, TX, USA Registered: Feb 2004 posted 11-09-2005 08:20 AM                        quote: Martin Brooks IMHO, it's not decent anywhere. That's $340 a week, which is $17,680 per year (and that's if you get paid days off and vacations). I don't know anywhere in this country where one can live decently on $18K a year, especially in big cities and most people in this country live in or near big cities. I 100% agree with you. By "decent" I meant most places I know give as much as a dollar less per hour for starting management. That makes $8.50 nothing to laugh at for those of us trying to survive.  |  IP: Logged
