Whats your current pay hourly/salary and do you like your job? Also NJ in general?

[CJDZ24_Z28]

Well I ask this because over the past 5 years i have run into and worked with alot of people from out of state also in state and they all complained how expensive NJ was. It kinda made me think about things,high insurance,property taxes etc. I'm also pretty sure the general cost of living is alot higher than other states and I'm sure some of you guys up around the NY/NJ border prob see some super high prices on things. I'm a Union Carpenter and currently make $36.76 a hr and i can't say i absolutely hate my job but the money is ok but i'd rather not work at all lol. How about you guys. I would really like to move to the Ft. Lauderdale area and drive around in a droptop Vette if i could have it my way!

[Mike]

my base this year is 41k.........as of the halfway point of the year im at 37k so yeah ill blow my base away

How long have you been in the union? Its defiantly some thing I'm going to be interested in when I'm out of high school.

[EchoMirage]

yea, I can honestly say the Union is a good thing. You will learn tons of **** on every Job. Also you will learn stuff to make you cash on the side doing side work for people. I have been in 5 years. I came in with 0 experience and starting pay back then was 12.00. Now with no experience starting pay is 15.10 and raises every 6 months until you reach rate and finish apprentice school

[CJDZ24_Z28]

I'll be at $43.08 come sept. union pipefitter. not the greatest job/conditions/people......but there are worse.

Damn, I'm cool with a few pipefitters I see from job to job. Is that you guys Foreman rate? I know Carpenters in NJ are one of the lower paid trades at $36.76 and we just got this raise a few months back. Electrician rate has been the highest for quite awhile

[Squirrel]

at 15-17 as a bus boy i made 12-15$/hr...at 18-19 as a waiter made 15-25/hr...now working at the liquor store i make...nowhere close

[stevethepirate]

i make $100 a day doing roofing... some days when im actually doing the roofing (mainly flat roofs) they are LONG days. other days i just have to clean up the job site... and i can be done in a few hours, so it evens out.
i love my job. it gets me in shape, it teaches me a valuable trade, and the people are all 23-25 years old and fun guys.

one of my friends is a union welder... and he makes something like $42 an hour... which isnt bad at all when youre 19 years old and a fulltime student!

Around $16.00 in shipping/receiving at my work. Would be lower if I didn't have a CDL. Least amount of work a week on average is 55-60 hours so basically 15-20 hours every week at time and a half is a good thing .... :)

Uncle Sam pays pretty well, I make about $75-85,000 a year depending on how much I fly, and as lons a I keep going bad places it is all tax free. Downside is that living in NY where I do I need to make about double that to live comfortably. Anyone who is complaining about prices in Jersey can come up here and pay $3.75 for a gallon of 93 octane. Also average property taxes here are abput $8-11,000 dollars a year, glad I have acondo :)

[EchoMirage]

no, thats standard journeyman's rate. foreman is $46, GF is $49. most people never realize you dont have to be a yuppie sitting in an office to make good money.

[ar0ck]

Although my current job is seasonal with Scotts, my boss has managed to keep me longer then expected. I'm currently making $14 an hour working merchandising for Scott's/Miracle Grow @ 6 Home Depot locations in my area.

The money is great, the other guy I work with is awesome, my boss is great to us, and the hours are perfect. I just hope I can stay on through the rest of the year even if its part time.

[Bandit]

You guys seem to be doing pretty good.. My own business for 4 years and still have not taken a pay check yet. I don't like posting what I make or dont make. But if you want to live in NJ and you're single you need to pull in 40K a year to live. family of 3-4 100K.

Matter of fact business is so slow here I am looking for a PT job and dusted off my resume and started sending it out.

[Jclt12003]

right now while i'm still in school i work at home depot as a cashier and make 10.75 an hour. Not bad at all i can tell them when i can and can't work, people are cool as hell to work with and i enjoy working there fun times for now.

i work as a cook and i make 9/hr and i started as a busboy making 6.15+**** tips. i hate my job, most of my co workers and sometimes my boss. but i can practically make my own schedule. only downside is holidays are a must.

[CJDZ24_Z28]

no, thats standard journeyman's rate. foreman is $46, GF is $49. most people never realize you dont have to be a yuppie sitting in an office to make good money.

Thats awesome! Our Foreman rate is about the same as your journeyman rate. When the next raise vote comes up I will make sure to vote!

Hey you wage earners, remember to factor the value of your benefits. Healthcare, retirement, etc., all adds up. A $20@hr job with good benes is probably better then a $30 one with none.

Vitals, the longer you wait to start investing in your future the longer you'll be working to make up for that lost time. Compound interest is the greatest thing in the world; take full advantage of it

ohh Genesis health care (peeps that pay my *****) doubles everything that gets taken away from my paycheck i believe, plus there's interest. I just said its to early to think about :lol: doesn't mean nothing is there.

Sorry to hear about your business. I've been at a crossroads with my job; been teaching at the lowest paying district in Bergen County for the last nine years. I thought about quitting and going into business for myself, but after hearing your story I may re-think it. Last year I made somewhere around 50K (between teaching and all the side work I do), and we survived. My wife was out of work last year since we just had a baby girl. I also have a 4-year old boy, a mortgage, plus all the utilities and whatnot. But my wife and I put down a good amount on our house, and bought it six years ago before the prices went insane. The monthly payment on our house is less than what some people pay to rent an apartment in trendy places like Hoboken. You can live on $50K with a family of four, but you certainly won't be spending $10K of it to buy a new motor, taking long expensive vacations, or any other non-necessities. Family is priority numero uno. Now my wife is back to work, so things are looking up. Gotta save $$ now for the additions on our house; need an extra bedroom and a new garage. :)

[Lt1_8U]

i get 7.60 an hour as a cashier at foodtown..on weekends i make about 15.00 an hour doing construction

[Fast92RS]

As a Firefighter My base salary is around 65k but and does not included my longevity and percentage raise each year its more. I also work part as a tech on trucks for 17/ hr.

[79CamaroDiva]

I make $14/hr at my full time job at Island on the books, plus $10/hr cash working weekends, $15/hr cash working on Atco's website, plus selling vinyl on the side. I could use more money, but for now im comfortable-ish. Only problem is I am CONSTANTLY working now. Most weeks i'm at the track or working at home about 60 hrs/week.

[nj85z28]

Damn, I'm cool with a few pipefitters I see from job to job. Is that you guys Foreman rate? I know Carpenters in NJ are one of the lower paid trades at $36.76 and we just got this raise a few months back. Electrician rate has been the highest for quite awhile

Good to see some Union brothers amongst us. I'm out of IBEW Local 102..currently 4th year apprentice on a 5 year program...our rate is 30.03 at 4th year.

I'll give you a breakdown-

1st Year- 18.27
2nd Year- 22.38
3rd Year- 26.49
4th Year- 31.06
5th year- 36.54

Journeyman- 45.67
Foreman (1 to 10 men)- 51.26
Sub-Foreman 52.06
Foreman (11 to 20 men) 52.52
General Foreman (21 to 30 men) 53.89
General Foreman (31 to 60 men) 58.46

There are our most current rates, but we're currently working on a "frozen" contract.

[mudjnky]

The cost of living in NJ is out of control. I'm moving my family to NC, making about the same money, 50k per year, but the cost of living is a lot less. We found a 5br, 3.5 bath, 3000 sq ft house with a 2 car garage on a half acre for 250k. Taxes are 2k per year.

[BonzoHansen]

Where in NC? What do you do?

[EchoMirage]

Good to see some Union brothers amongst us. I'm out of IBEW Local 102..currently 4th year apprentice on a 5 year program...our rate is 30.03 at 4th year.

eh, some unions arent what they used to be. mine sucks. more currupt then you can immagine. better then nothing, but its not like it was 20yrs ago when the men had a say. at least in my particular one. im a 5th year, out of my time in sept. our 5th year rate is 34.46, plus vacation. we're probably one of the highest in the UA, and most of the country. plumbers and sprinklers are always within a dollar of us, either way.

as far as benefits.......you wont find any better benefits then in most unions. i have 95% dental converage, nearly full medical, prescription, $250/yr for eyes (which they screwed us on). plus annuity fund, and a vacation fund. i had an ex ***** of mine who worked as some kind of import/export seller. made 2K/week with commisions.....but when she had a root canal done, had to pay $1500 out of her own pocket. when i had one done, it cost me personally less then $100.

so nj85z28......what job are you working on. anyone from your hall up at xanadu yet?

Good deal dude. I can't really conplain about the Carpenters local. Its a strong Union but we really need to get up to par as far a pay goes :) $36.76 ain't cuttin it:rofl:

[nj85z28]

so nj85z28......what job are you working on. anyone from your hall up at xanadu yet?

I just left Bell Labs in Summit for Linear Electric and moved to Preakness Hospital in Wayne for Railroad Construction Electric. As far as I know, most of the electricians at Xanadu are out of Jersey City's local 164, but the Devils Arena is mostly 102 guys, since 164 is refusing to work with StarLo electric. Thats what the guys are saying anyway.

[chemicalstylez]

I run a Hallmark store..... and I'm a male yes LOL. I can tell you working retail SUCKS totally. You get to work 7 days a week, every holiday, if someone calls out you have to work for them, and customers are dicks. As for pay I get $250 a week on the books, and the rest is cash. The cash varies on weather or not my sales were good for the week. So my pay could be $400-$500 during a normal week(check+cash), and like....$800-1000 during the holidays. But the perks are my store pays for my car insurance, about 60% of my gas since i drive 30 miles a day, and my cell phone (since i use it for everything store related). I couldn't give an accurate figure on what i make yearly though, its always different. As for living in NJ well, i still live with my parents. Moving out is almost impossible without any help. To buy a house in my town is like $300,000 for a small one, and the places around me are even more expensive! I'll be 23 in august and i want out of my house bad, but i can't afford anything. I'm close to finishing my 2 year degree in law enforcement so i can finally get in the academy and try to get into the Sheriff's Office. Till than i just want out of my parents house!

my base is $50,105 but at 6 months i was at around $28k. hourly it is about $24 an hour, and i'm on step 1 of a 10 step system that for just an officer tops out at about $75k, however this contract just ended and that should go up at least 14%.

[Brando56894]

i make 9.45 at shoprite, been there 5 1/2 years....blow me

working in retail you make s**t for money. i worked at shop rite for a year and made like 6.50. then i worked at acme for 2 years and made a whopping 8.50. im working at radioshack now and its a pretty easy job, theres alot of down time for you to do whatever you want (for example right now :lol:) i make min wage (7.15?) plus 2.5% commission on stuff over $75. so i make anywhere from $7.15-$8.50 depending on how much i sell. when this semester starts ill be making $8.50 working at one of the computer labs.

From an accounting point of view, you probably 'make' 20% more then that. And that is good for you. An a lot of unions have fringe benefits via Credit Unions, Pension Plans, etc., like reduced loan costs - that is a nice perk too. In the big pic, that matters. Your pay is often more then the paycheck reflects.

[Jersey_TA]

I hate NJ more than I like it.....is that bad lol. I take home about $42k a year in the AF, so not bad. I just wish the cost of living was the same as it is in IL where I'm from. Property taxes are around $1k-$2k a year, houses with 4 bedroom, 2 story, 2 car garages with land run about $155K. Apartment rent would be $200-$300 a month.....also the average cost of a mortgage........I hate NJ

They have no compensation/stipend adjustment based on locale? Sucks.

[Jersey_TA]

They have no compensation/stipend adjustment based on locale? Sucks.

The AF only has a BAH(basic allowance for housing) adjustment based on location. I get $1100 for housing which would barely cover an apartment/bills associated with it. Atleast I have a roommate for now which takes me down to $650 for a house. Next year is going to be rough though.

[BonzoHansen]

Better then nothing, but still sucks.

[Brando56894]

no wonder your car is stock :lol:

yea now you see why :lol: and whenever i do have money it has to go to something else other then my car! i just checked my current paycheck its $300 after taxes (but then again thats for 2 weeks :? ) and alot of that is going to my mom since i ran up the CC bill all last year :lol:

i know. our 'package' for a typical journeyman costs the GC about $100/hr, including vacation fund, annuity, benefits, retirement, etc. etc. we just got a credit union, through 102 actually. its not the greatest, but its something. used them when i bought my land in upstate NY. i was going to try for their mortgage but their rates were higher then a regular bank.

all this talk about money made me add up some numbers......doing it the yuppie way, i figured out i make over 70K/yr right now, going to just over 90K in sept. thats all without overtime. no one ever thinks of it in yearly terms because you barely take home 60% of it, and in this area youre lucky if you work a full year.

From an accounting point of view, you probably 'make' 20% more then that. And that is good for you. An a lot of unions have fringe benefits via Credit Unions, Pension Plans, etc., like reduced loan costs - that is a nice perk too. In the big pic, that matters. Your pay is often more then the paycheck reflects.

yea, i make out really good. for now, i don't pay medical or dental, i have a deferred comp option, i only have to work 25 years then get 65% pay for the rest of my life and paid medical for my family for the rest of my life.

as of 2 weeks from now,

i am going to be full time at gamestop...

if they continue to give raises/promotions as they have in my experience working there... things will be looking good with them within a few months..

cause all of there keyholders are college kids.. so they need someone to hold them keys while school is out of session... hahaha

but i wont be making more than 8...

pay sucks... job is great... borrow policy rules... free video games...

but unless your a manager, your getting dirt...

i am not working as of now but am looking so if any one knows of some thing let me know please. :) i worked as a manager for drug emporium for 8yrs made around 43k year, that job was very bad but they would just give me more money to stay and then when they went bankrupt i worked for cpr a carpet repair restoration company we did flood work, fire rip outs, crime scene clean up and carpet cleaning/dyes. last year there made 800wk base plus 2% of all insurance money made by the company and 22% of all work done by me over the 800 base. made out pretty good most times. but the hrs sucked. lots of nights travel and weekends.

Hm, sounds intresting, ill haveto look into it. what kind of backround do you need? Igot both automotive and diesel experience, infact my diesel experience was for a truck rental/leasing company.

[mudjnky]

The more experience, the better the pay. We have a Heavy Truck department as well as light duty truck and car. If you have heavy diesel experience they want to put you in the HD department.

[Blacdout96]

I did Hino's ( nissans trucks) and Mitsubishi trucks. All the trucks were under CDL required, so i didnt needa CDL license. The biggest trucks we had was 26ft. box trucks, but nothing like 18 wheelers, or CDL trucks. ill have to give them a ring tho cause im sick of workign at Viking, their hours suck as much as their pay does lol, only thing goign for them is their benefits.

[mudjnky]

The best thing to do would be call and fill out an application

Well Hes going to pay me under the table for 2 weeks to finish his house up, siding, and wood trim in the kitchen, then raise the pay when I work in the side he rents up, hes gonna teach me plumbing, and everything Ill need to know, so when the day comes, I can take on the house and rent it out and know about all the stuff that might need fixin.


edit.

I also forgot, im gonna be working for my uncle doing odd jobs around his house so he can get top $$ for when he sells his house.

[transmaro93]

maken 12/hr as a mid level autobody tech... love the job but it has its up and down days.... the autobody industry is going down hill tho i picked the wrong thing to get into... but i enjoy it for the most part... insurance companies really messen stuff up... this buisness is not nearly at lucrative as it used to be... iv heard of people bringing home $1000-$1600 a week back in the 80's who now stuggle to bring home $500 because the insurance companies dont want to pay anymore and the cost of everything has just gone up its hard to keep up anymore...

[bad64chevelle]

Im making $100/day working for a handyman pretty much. We just finished painting a 1740s house in Crosswicks, and now kind of doing some odds and ends. If it continues next summer, I will be making $200/day but I will be working full time. This summer I didnt, because I was working at the gas station at the same time, making 8.25. 3days at the gas station 3 days painting. Now with school Ill probably only be working maybe 2 days a week, and maybe a few half days.

[Dark_Knight7096]

To be honest, I'm not sure what that position is. I checked our job postings page and didn't see it. I'm in the call center, that may be something in the business office and they hiring outside the company.

[Untamed]

Got the job listing from the following page:
http://clients.arifleet.com/jobs/OTHEREMPLOYMENTOPPORTUNITIES/tabid/800/Default.aspx

There's no location listed so was assuming (hoping?) it was in the same location in southern NJ.

I'll update the status of the application when I find out so others looking at the company for possible employment can get some insight.

Thanks!

[WildBillyT]

I'm the IT production supervisor at a market/communications research firm. Sorry, won't say what I get paid. I love my job, and NJ (most of the time).

[jims69camaro]

my most recent salary was 50, and i spent two and a half hours in the car everyday. i didn't mind the commute and i was good at my job, but the time had come to let it go (don't ask). i don't care much for NJ. if i didn't have family here, i wouldn't have been back after the first time i left. or the second. or the ... last time, either.

[transamkid]

just got a new job. i get about 40-50 in tips a day. fridays i get about 65-70 in tips. 2-10 mon-fri though and sometimes satruday, so it sucks. but im making some good money. and its at a hot dog place down the st. from me

[MonmouthCtyAntz]

I make right around 39k a year..Medical Maintenance contractor for the Air Force @ Mcguire. Not the most exciting stuff ive ever done but it pays the bills and there's very little stress to the job...were getting a new contract soon so there shoud be a nice increase and put me over that big 40k mark a year lol. I have no degree, did a few years in the army and ive only been here 2 years so I guess i cant complain. One part that really blows is I live in absecon w/ my GF so its about an hour commute. I take here 06 corrola s which is really good on gas though. I could be doing better but I could also be doing alot worse. :)

[Predator86]
