    The jobs in Mississippi don’t pay worth a damn. It doesn’t help that employers secretly hate their employees for costing them money. If they could pay you less than minimum wage, they would.

    It’s the same for white collar and blue collar workers. Maximum exploitation in order to reach quarterly earnings goals.

      Mississippi and Alabama have petro-chemical industries (and defence) that pay handsomely. They have some of the highest wage levels in the Union.

        probably because those companies cannot survive in states with more regulations, and i doubt the country bumpkin is getting hired at these jobs.
