    What is the value of your work? $11.15/hr plus 1% of shop work is
    how much? In most of the US, $11.15/hr would not be enough to pay for
    living costs. It would also depend on your standard of living. I only
    know this. When I was out of work, I would have taken any job! 

    Now it would appear that $15/hr is not enough to attract local help
    to run stores inside the terminal at the Cincinnati International
    Airport. Delta Airlines flies in people from other countries to take
    these jobs. 

    I would be happy making $15/day if everyone else wasn't gouging me
    for their services. I had car trouble once. I fixed it myself for $2
    in material and one hour of cleaning the EGR valve. The trouble codes
    disappeared, because the differential pressure returned to normal.
    The garage wanted almost $900 for the repair. *grrr* They can charge
    whatever they want. I don't have to take my car there. I can't blame
    them. They are charging what it costs to run their business. 

    What does it cost to run the business you are in? It may be that
    they are charging a fair salary for the amount of sales being brought
    in. It could be that you need to find a business that is doing
    better. 

    We are supposed to be hiring a technician soon. Do you want me to
    notify you when the job is listed? 

Jeff
