Reply to comment by Lieutenant_Joe in Maine Will Have a New Minimum Wage Beginning on January 1st by Shake-Spear4666

Exactly... Oddly enough, I had a teacher's aide who left to work at Target because it paid more than what he was making as a teacher's aide at $15/hr. I know actual classroom teachers considering doing the same.

I currently work at target. They’re paying three dollars more an hour at the Walmart just down the road.

Education wages in this country are a global laughingstock.
