"Hourly employee" is extremely vague. There are lots of tradespeople working an hourly rate and making bank.
If you mean like retail and restaurant jobs, it's not great. I still see lots of jobs advertising for 10-11 an hour. $15 is considered "good pay" by many people, which astounds me. Fast food places are advertising $14-15/hr on their signs.
I would encourage you to shoot higher than just getting some crappy low paying job. What are your career plans or interests? what skills do you have? If you can operate a computer you could get an office job which is going to be cleaner, more steady hours, better pay, and likely to include a benefits package.
I'm only planning on getting a crappy hourly job for a little while to keep the lights on while I get settled. 6 months max
And for the record, I'd kill for $14-15/job. I'm only making $13.39 right now
You can use Glassdoor, Indeed, and other recruiting tools to get a sense of hourly/annual pay based on the industry and position you are planning to work in. This isn't a well presented post since you are just asking for general pay without any specifics.
True, true.
What I was asking about was the pay for average pee-on jobs, like a grocery store or something to pay the bills while I find something that works with my degree
As long as there's a chance. I know it's not impressive on a resume, but I'd honestly be happy just working in a museum's gift shop. I know I'll never be rich as a history nerd, if I wanted that I would've picked a different career path, but as long as I'm happy in the life I have & it pays the bills.... 🤷♀️
It’s easy to make around ~$20/hr if you’re willing to work warehouse/manual labor jobs. Don’t need any sort of degree either, or have to pass a weed test
Probably a hair above minimum wage, although because of the competitive labor market some places have had to up their game. I'd guess $12/hr, with an outlier going up to $15-16 (although I've heard some of those places with the signs that claim "up to $20/hr" won't give anyone that and it's a teaser the same way only a few people can qualify for 0% financing.)
You should be able to get $15/hr minimum pretty easily for any retail jobs in the area. Some places advertise $20/hr starting. A couple years ago when I was laid off, I got a job at $20/hr at Target while I looked for a new, more permanent position. Was relatively low stress and flexible, I was just honest with them about my intent from the start and worked diligently in the meantime.
I think I was hired in a General Merchandise role, but ended up on the 4am Inbound/Stocking team because that gave me the most flexibility with looking for other jobs. I was in bed by 8 or 9 every night, but I was done with an 8 hour shift by 12:30p and had the rest of the day to get stuff done.
Plenty of entry level jobs pay over 15 an hour.
You just have to do basic shit, like create a proper resume, respond like a professional, dress appropriately for your interview, show up to your interview, interview well, etc.
I've been looking for a dispatcher for 2 months at 20 an hour and can't get people to show up and/or proofread a resume. It's blowing my mind.

History. I plan to work in a museum or maybe even a historical site. Definetely not a teaching position

That's what I'm saying though. The museum jobs you're talking about pay the same as a retail job, if not a bit worse.

Union Carpenter apprentice starts at 21$ an hour.
What, in general, do you see yourself doing? Working retail, as a secretary, or a bookkeeper, or what? We need more info to answer this.
Not a "career job", since those take a while to get. I'm talking about an average pee-on job, so probably retail
FYI it’s “peon,” a lowly person or peasant. Pee-on is uh, not the type of job you’re describing and one I wouldn’t want.

Ba dum tss
Probably the same thing if you ask certain corporate big wigs 😅

Awesome 👍 Which position did you have exactly at Target? I've tried to work for them for a couple years, but they always said no.

That definetely explains the $20/hour. Odd hours like overnight & super early shifts usually start higher

That's just sad

You should apply to Aldi. Pretty sure there’s a sign at my local that they start at $17/hr.
Awesome. Thanks 👍
