A sidebar but that is all changing now. The average has already shifted to $18 an hour. Most make between $16-$22 an hour with experienced workers making much more. I am seeing kids that graduated from high school five years ago making North of $60K around here. If someone is making $14 an hour they need to be looking for a new job.
No idea what caused all that.

Had a guy at a local CNC place tell me the industry is crying for people. If I had it to do all over again, I might go that way.
