Depends how many hours you work... YOU do the math.
Govt. takes between 19-22% but again this varies depending where you live
Union takes a bit too 2.5x hourly rate per month, but again this can Vary on region.

my area is $12.50. it depends where you are. it would be a buck or so less of the 'natural' (market-driven) minimum wage.

You basically bring home gas money for the first 2 years or so....after 2 years, you can finally afford that newspaper you were saving up for. It gets better after that!!

Package handling is best suited for:

a) students, where the tuition reimbursement program adds an extra $5/hr to the wage
b) those with interest to move up the ladder at the p/t level
c) elderlies, self-employed, and stay-at-home parents who need something to do and/or want the health benefits.

it's not intended to be a 'living-wage'. that's what the driver positions are for.
