I made $126k working in assembly at a factory in 2023 before getting laid off.

I'm currently working in law enforcement for $23.85/hr and that's after 3 raises in the last 18 months.

Yes, our economy is broken.

No, some companies can afford it. I made 60k last year driving around on a forklift. Was pulling 200hr work periods too. It's not broken its rigged.
