    20/hr is less than Aldis pays. It’s also less than the typical day labor rate.

    It’s a scam.

      I didn’t say it was great, but it’s comparable to similar snow shoveling job postings in that area and requires no training or employee retention.

        And I’m telling you it is not. Snow removal STARTS at about 35/hr here, in Buffalo.

        Day labor rates are about the same too. Like the peeps you find at a temp agency or Home Depot.

          I’m looking at job postings in Buffalo, there are definitely snow shoveling jobs that start at lower than $20/hour on Indeed/ZipRecruiter. Again, maybe it’s not great, but they are there. And again, this is a one-off job with no retention, so it’s not surprising it would be on the lower end of the scale.

            And you will see those “openings” all the time.

            However, nobody generally takes those, since SPS Staffing (a day labor temp place) starts at 30 for their day jobs.

            I don’t need to look on zip recruiter to know… I literally live here.
