I actually enjoy being a hospice nurse. It pays less where I am and could go work anywhere else and Hospital pays more but ive been at a private facility for many years now.

  Having had hospice help with my dad's final months at home, you have a special place in my heart and if it were up to me, you'd be getting paid triple to care compassionately for fellow men and women at a frightening, sad, and painful part of life.....moving on....

  It is a tough job especially when I get attached to them or the ones who have no family. I’m all they have sometimes. Thank you 🙏🏼

I prefer paycheck amount (my hourly paid was going to determine how much I was going to get in my federal civil service retirement checks. I learned to compartmentalized when I work (I personal dislike my job but I loved getting paid every two weeks (on a Tuesday), and my federal benefits (while I was working) were in the fantastic category. I have been retired for 24 years and it will be 25 years in June (2023). I option for money over people (the guiding principle of capitalism) - works for society and it worked for me on a personal level (very livable federal civil service retirement checks).Edited 11-Apr-23 01:55am

  When the employer is big enough for you to do this, then I agree with you that take the money over the personal happiness but when it is a small employer or worksite then I advise to get the **** out of there. ROFL.

  Hi Elizabeth. I never worked a job in the 'private sector' in the USA, the pay is lousy in the 'private sector', no guarantees your private sector pension is going to be there - when you retire, etc. I was strictly speaking from a 'public sector' perspective, which I empathized more than once when expressing my viewpoint on paycheck amount versus job satisfaction.

  Private sector is hilarious in Australia as sometimes these jobs pay more than public service and sometimes the public service is better...it seems to ebb and flow depending on how desperate the private sector is for specific workers.

  The federal minimum wage is $7.25 an hour (USA) - the last time the federal minimum wage was increased was in 2009. I have ALWAYS wonder WHY (hourly) workers work in the private sector????Edited 11-Apr-23 08:41am

  Minimum wage for typical retail and hospitality jobs are $23-$30 per hour (unless you are casual or hold a team responsibility, specialised function etc) Office jobs pay more and pay better in certain segments (and obviously pay more in government than private (with few exceptions). Professional jobs (accountants, lawyers, engineers, surveyors etc) is where you see the most fluctuation between private and public sector. This being said, some retail and hospitality (and cleaning jobs in various sectors) have been paying bribe money lately for people just to take the job and some can pay $30-$50 per hour because they desperately need to be filled. Some jobs were offering up to a $10000 signing bonus.

  USA seriously needs to change the way workers are treated and respected via pay.

  Minimum wage in AZ, USA is 13.25 since January of 2023. That's why stores and food outlets are in part to blame for raising prices....bc they have to pay employees more than ever just to hire them. It was 12.?? last year. It was part of our election to raise minimum wage or not and with the overwhelming millions of Hispanic immigrants, it passed easily. People who understood what the negative ramifications would be didn't vote for it. But we were out numbered, obviously. I voted against raising minimum wage and I personally could have benefitted, but the snowball effect on our economy has been detrimental. Now no one can go out to eat and restaurants are closing by the dozens and reducing numbers of open locations. Our neighborhoods aren't thriving. Every week there's another fence around a business going out of business and being demolished. I've gone on way too long about minimum wage and how people who relied on minimum wage didn't see the downfalls. You also can't go into a business with no skills, work history, or experience and expect to get paid well. Get a 9 month certificate and earn your 23.00/hr like so many I know do.Edited 11-Apr-23 21:12pm

  So you are ok with people living in poverty while CEOs and other higher ups get multimillions for essentially having boozy lunches, playing golf, going to corporate boxes etc while pretending to run companies? How many companies have gone down because of CEOs wasting money (and governments have bailed them out) and while the CEO may have been giving their marching orders, they still got their multimillion dollar payout for doing a bad job. Now a normal minimum wage person who is considered to be doing a bad job would just be sacked. You are ridiculous to believe the lies of the corporates that they cannot afford these modest payrises and this is why prices have gone up. Do the math,

  Hi Elizabeth T. I have learned you cannot have a dialogue with individuals - who have bought into corporate propaganda.
