Yeah, I remember working with a guy who had been a Ford factory worker. This was decades ago, and I think he had said he'd made 75 Bucks an Hour, but I think that was counting all the benefits.
My last long term factory Job I left at the End of 1991 and was making 10.15 an hour, with good benefits and even a pension. We weren't union, it was in Orlando, but we made a store-brand soda. Our pay was more than coke, but less than Pepsi. That was big money in Orlando at that time. Disney kept wages low in Orlando. Still lower there than Here in Nashville. Pay for my type of work middle of the road is top pay in Orlando, but rent is somewhat higher here and Sales tax too, and they even tax food in the grocery.
