Early on in the Trump administration, all four of my kids changed jobs in about a two month period.
Their total increase in pay was about $80,000.
To be fair, one was fresh out of college and another went from part time to full time career type job but they all had significant increases.
One is struggling a bit right now. He started a new job two months ago and the company, a multi-family homebuilder that is horribly managed just went bankrupt.
He drives tractor trailer rigs and is still employed while picking up their equipment at several jobsites. Trucker jobs aren’t easy to get when you’re under 21. (DOT rules say the driver must stay in state) This job has given him some great on the road experience though.
Truck drivers are in high demand now. He’ll be able to command a great salary as soon as he’s 21.
