i was perusing another un-named forum this am and came across a post for a pipe-fitter job through ameri-force paying the princely sum of 13 bucks an hour. i thought things were taking a slow turn for the better in this country but i gotta think again. i'll wager ameri-scam is taking at least another 13 bucks an hour as it's finder fee/commision.

You'd be wrong.
Ameri-FARCE is likely charging the customer $65/hr for that $13 hand.
Any per-diem?
Doesn't matter... $13 hand at 7/12s is getting screwed. OT is $19.50, still less than a fitter's worth.
And companies wonder why quality has gone down...

Okay, okay, Got me on the technicality... You did say, "at least" $13.
I reacted as I did, because I saw the inside of that kind of operation rather close up. I found I was being billed at $65 while paid 24. I saw where the profit went. I was not impressed.

i'm in the wrong end of this business. the real money isn't behind the shield but behind the welder and he's doing more than picking your pocket!! lolweldin mike 27 wrote:we get billed at $200/ h and payed 32....Thats overheads for ya.
