> If you take a job that pays the exempt salary, you can damn well guarantee you will be working overtime. Positions like that have shit like 6 day requirements or 50 hour requirements.

Not in my experience. Lots of white collar office or government type jobs do not require more than 40 hours per week. Hell, if you count the time people spend on Reddit, they are probably 30 hour per week jobs.

Either way the lack of people jumping up and down to become nurses or nursing assistants is all the proof that whatever the pay is or was is not enough comparable to that of other options in the market.

Working in a hospital, especially patient facing role, is not comparable to a retail or fast food or hospitality job that one can do in their spare time during the week.

I assume the people we want as nurses and NAC are more career minded, not to mention the higher stress working environments and odd hours, nights, weekends, and holidays. So presumably, those people are weighing their options at finding a nice salaried job for $65k, or working in a hospital for $20 to $30 per hour.

And if we are not going to pay them more than a standard salaried office 8 to 5 Mon to Fri job, then watch all the better workers go do that.

Even $30/hour is not enough when WA minimum salary is $65k in 2023.

Only Colorado has it since Jan 1, 2021, but California and Washington start Jan 1, 2023.

Morgan Stanley is not showing pay ranges:

Edit: Some jobs are showing pay range and some are not.

And the point of the law is not to prevent low pay. It is to help people filter out bad employers and search for good ones (which will obviously put pressure on all employers in markets that are not completely saturated with laborers).

You should see options other airports that didn’t give the food and beverage operations to a corrupt port authority connected company like OTG. Obviously, C was better than A, but still piss poor compared to other airports.
