Not a huge difference for a place that has a lower cost of living than WA.


That's a pretty good living wage for someone to drive rivits all day long! And they call them self Machinist? Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't most of these Machinist trained within BOEING. Machinist just sounds so official like they have a college degree or somthing. I beleive most have just a H.S education? HIGHLY OVERPAID IMO! I hate unions! They artificially drive up the cost of goods and labor. What happened to the free market were good, honest, hardworking people thrived and the lazy useless scum of the earth, well who cares! Like stated earlier, please correct me if I'm wrong.

just my .02
