The risk of taking a new job that may or may not work out, when you have one now that pays enough to pay your bills is too great for many people.

61% of all Americans live paycheck to paycheck. I fully agree with your last point, however the fact is the majority of the country simply cannot afford the risk.

$23.55-$28.10 is what Walmart distribution center in NH pays with similar benefits, so I would say around that. If the job is similar to my experience at one of those DC’s, (10+years ago) the pay is ~fair~, but you can’t expect to do it for long, it destroys your body. Jobs like that should be paying a premium.
