Out of curiosity what is the average / minimum wage for a 16yo in teh US?

like in UK its $8.20ish an hour for part time work im on $8.50 but my manager wants me on $15 an hour which is nice

just the lawyers are having none of it, damn charity run organizations :angry2: I only work like 14 hours week tho hence the need for additional business

phenomenal · « **Reply #11 on:** February 27, 2008, 11:04:02 AM »

For a full time job in the uk, its the law that you must be earning atleast £4 something an hour (its like £4.16)

Bestbuy does not give employee discounts on Apple products.

And as for starting wage its either $7.75 or $8 an hour

Whoever asked the minimum wage question. IT depends but here in Florida, it's $6.67, and usually most jobs now round it to $7, not much eh? I've had 6 different jobs, all in food cept for one, and they paid $6.40 (<that was the old minimum wage) to $7 (<This was before the minimum wage raise

). Sometimes the benefits in my job outweighed the pay, which was kind of sad but still good XD

IndyChav · « **Reply #14 on:** February 27, 2008, 02:44:11 PM »

ZOMG!!! Pedro I cannot believe you didnt realise it was theee indy that asked the question XD

seikene · « **Reply #15 on:** February 27, 2008, 02:47:04 PM »

Bleh well I've been busy ya know, doign a computer programming class in my virtual school, getting ready to go to a school play (just to see my friends), and getting a ds from a friend for 40 bucks

, it's one of the first versions, so I'ma mod the hell outta it and sell it off

. Anyway on topic, best to apply for a job when you're 16, and try not to go for the easy fast food jobs. I've had 5 jobs doing that, and it's embarassing, :censored:ty at best, and just plain not worth all the stress built on you for it.

Canadajames · « **Reply #16 on:** February 27, 2008, 02:50:09 PM »

i didnt want discount i wanted private auctioon th8ing like another thread you woulad know if youve read it. p.s. in Canada its like 8.00 or something.

IndyChav · « **Reply #17 on:** February 27, 2008, 02:56:00 PM »

Ok so basically its the same UK has a marginally higher minimum wage but thats jsut because of the exchange rate glad we got that sorted.

And I agree with whoever made the fast foos job comment, I use the toilet in mcdonalds, you'd understand if you lived in aberdeen, and I jsut laugh at every single worker and now mose of them try to avoid me.

Animal Welfare is where the moneys at

Of course it helps if you get A LTO of additional benefits because your aunts the manager

XD

$7.95 here in Oregon...one of the higher minimum wage st8s!

Reaper · « **Reply #22 on:** February 27, 2008, 05:41:25 PM »

You guys are stating the minimum wage without stating the taxes taken,
the average for the US would be around 6.50 after taxes...

P3nnyw1se · « **Reply #23 on:** February 27, 2008, 07:17:31 PM »

=O Don't mention taxes!!!

robin1989 · « **Reply #24 on:** February 28, 2008, 02:43:51 AM »

yeh we dont get charged taxes until earning £5000 a year i think. also 18 the minumum is £5.55 i think.

and indy your telling me that in aberdeen you dont just lean up against your door have a slash then get your key out and go in.

Thats a quote from some comedian... cant remember who tho... was something along the lines of "The most scottish thing i ever saw was a man leaning against a door having a slash.... he finishes up... takes out his keys.. unlocks the door and goes in"

i LOL'd at that hehe
