Autoworker jobs lose luster as industry reels


There was a time, not very long ago, when getting a job on the production line at a big automaker meant an instant ticket to the American dream, even for someone with little formal education. Not anymore.  In a recent CNNMoney.com report,  entry level pay is now $14 an hour, half of what it used to be.  And I say it about time!  For years the auto industry over paid it's entry level and management employees across the board.  Unions, which had their place back in the days have sucked the life out from the industry.    So HELL YEAH and it's about time that those in the auto industry got to see how the other half has to live.  We don't have jobs that are given to us just because we have a family member working at a plant and have to bust our asses off with additional education just to get the paycheck that we get.
