Here in halifax, the cost of living is fucked, the workers shortage is real so they are immigrating in huge amounts of people and are now allowing foreign students to work more hours to make up for it. Where did everyone go?

Anyway, some of the fast food places are advertising for 15-16$ a hour. Minimum wage is 13.60 an hour, for "skilled labor".

At this point I may just go flip burgers part time, because all I can really do is part time work. Without getting my kidney/phosphorous levels figured out, I dont think its possible for me to work physical jobs for 60-80 hours a week like I used to. Not without sleeping more than 3-4 hours a night.

Ive worked some shity ass jobs here in HRM. Trashman, fabricating rubber vehicle mats, painting fuel tanks, carrying drywall. Mainly temp stuff and they all paid like 14$ an hour. But that was before the vaccine mandates. That was also another reason I had to leave the workforce. Besides the freon injury, I refused to get vaccinated with something that doesnt stop me from getting the disease, simple as that. But most jobs I have looked at now dont mention vaccination, so I guess I have a little more hope of finding a job than I did a year ago.

Why work these backbreaking warehouse jobs when I could flip burgers for the same amount of money. I used to laugh at these jobs for someone like me, a rather physically large/strong man. I should be in construction. But after being injured, ive accepted I wont be able to do the work I used to :(. I worked at a fast food place 20 years ago when I was a teenager, there were plenty of old people and people with disabilities. Now I understand why :(.

$14 an hour (burger flipping where I am, per the sign out front) x 35 hours a week (thanks, Obama!) is $490.
