That’s a rather pathetic wage. Guess their setting this up to say Americans won’t take the jobs so they’ll ask for H1B or send the call center overseas.

In Louisiana as perhaps the second family income with full benefits? Do you live in Beverley Hills?

Not for the area, in a non oil patch job.

33k sounds pretty good for rural Lousisana, not sure exactly where these jobs are. 33k won’t go far in NYC or LA or SF.

Half of the workers in this country make less than $30,000 a year.

I started at $8.50 at a ATT ISP site in 1998. I quit 4 days later for a $10 one at Earthlink. ATT closed their center about 2 years later and a flood of former ATT workers showed up.
I do similar work doing internal support for just over $30/hr a year. You gotta start somewhere.

It varies from state to state and within the state. With those perks, It may be a better wage than what you believe it to be.

I’ve known co-workers who were working for the medical coverage. The money was not the main concern. It all depends on what you’re looking for.

Also, if a company has a Matching Fund, that’s an additional perk for later down the road. Many people who participate in the Matching Fund programs wouldn’t begin to be able to save at the rate they saved without that program.

Only Abbeville might be more Cajun. Or Broussard. ;-)

Except Breaux Bridge has THE crawfish festival

Nope. Los Angeles area. I make good money but housing and taxes are too high. I know in Alabama the same type job pays what I make as a co-worker has been looking in that area to move to.
