Imo it was kind of a scam. I know people moved here and because their position didn't pay a certain amount in wages they were disqualified. Of course the wages Vermont wanted you to make were far above what most of the positions paid. But that was a couple years ago.

But it must work for some...

>Wage for the position equals or exceeds the Vermont livable wage rate. Currently the livable wage rate is $15.33 per hour.

That's... not that much.

Two years ago not many places were paying that and its barely a living wage but that's a different topic.

Like it wanted someone working a grocery job making 15+ lol. Two years ago they were lucky to get 12.

From the state's point of view they probably don't want to incentivize an influx of cheap labor to be exploited by business owners that don't pay a living wage, and end up taking more in government services than the state is prepared for. Instead,. Of course, they want high paid workers who will pay more state taxes.

Yes I understand that and that's the same answer people gave last time and you're right. But it still doesn't make it less of bait and switch. Especially how it's broadcasted all over the place yet the wage thing is in small print that you can find by clicking here and then here.

Doesn't do shit for me anyway lol.
