Its 5.15 here. I'm making a whopping 5.40/hr. When I figured out how much gets taken out for taxes (which i'll get back) and social security (which I won't get back, nor will I get credits for), I take home about 87% of my paycheck.
At my campus job, I do phone surveys for the dpt. of economics. We get a .50 raise for each month we stay on (because people flake out from the mononoty of it). So I make about 6.50/hr to call people. Pretty cool
