Reply to comment by kjuneja in Looking for a seasonal job this winter? DSNY hires snow laborers by sheerfire96

It's absurd they aren't laying a living wage for this. Who can pay their rent on 17.00 an hour?

Let's start a temporary snow shovelers union.

$17 an hour, 160 hours in a month, that's $2720 per month.

Maybe $2000 after taxes, probably underselling.

You can pay rent on that. Not gonna do much else but you can pay rent.

And that's without working any OT.
