Don't forget the pension, time and a half over 40 hrs and double time over 48 hours. Back in the eighties you could work holidays and get triple time. Twelve hour days - 7 even days a week added up to some big pay.
(and 401K match up to 5%)

MTA still does that. You can really inflate your pension before returning.

Other "data" can be found to contradict "real statistical data." This is the era of multiple economic "truths." One report says the labor force is back to full participation, another report says the contrary. One report says wages are up, another report says wages are stagnant and/or declining due to inflation and various Cost of Living expenses.

Have a great day.

Show me "data" that backs up anything but what 3 different cost of living calculators state.

You know that 73.6% of facts are made up, right?
