And their pay is notoriously low. School support staffers earn, on average, about $25,000 a year in Los Angeles, barely enough to get by in one of the most expensive cities in America.
The pay is a driving factor behind a three-day strike that has shut down the entire Los Angeles school system and put a spotlight on the paltry pay of support staff that serves as the backbone of schools nationwide.
Even outside pricey California, the school gigs often don’t pay enough to live on.
Arthur Anderson, a school worker in Virginia, says it’s a shame it took a walkout to draw attention to the longstanding problem, but he hopes it helps.
I know you live in a shithole state and don't get out much but I'd like to just say from my end of the spectrum, they are begging for employees around here. Wages are going up up and up because they can't fill positions. Our local McDonalds is starting kids off at 17.50 an hour. LOL I remember when I first started working back in 84 in the service biz and 5 bucks an hour made me feel like a mini Rockefeller. When I worked my way up from 5 to 7 to 10 it felt even better.
Maybe downstate it is different but here seems to be booming. Now a Big Mac might cost a buck more for people who eat that shit but wages offset the costs and the only people bitching about it are people from right to work states who allow themselves and their children to be bent over the table by the people they voted for.
Why do you assume the WV economy is representative of the rest of the country? Surely you've read articles expressing amazement over the continuing low unemployment numbers and new job creation?
And what are the GOP plans to deal with the issues you claim are so widespread? We should have seen a Bill or two out the House by now, yes?
Instead, useless and incompetent hearings and cries of 'WOKE' from authoritarian GOP Taliban ass-clowns.
