Hello everyone, I need some advise. 

    Currently I work at an independent jewelry store.  I am the manager
    of  the shop and have one young man working with me.  My duties are
    changing as well as my assistant. My assistant is doing more and
    more of the shop work while mine are developing into more
    Gemological duties as well as sales support  and administrative. My
    problem is that I am only making $11.50 an hour with one percent of
    what ever goes out of the shop. We do not do all of  our shop work
    because there is to much of it.  I have looked on the  Internet to
    see what the current hourly wage or salary might be for someone in 
    my position but do not find much. 

    Could someone give me an idea as to what someone in my position would
     make. I am also training my assistant how to set stones so he can
    take over more  of my duties in the shop at some point. Any input
    would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks Unappreciated.
