Are EMTs/Paramedics the most underpaid folks out there?

$15/hour to be the first responders to shootings, ODs, cardiac arrests, etc. They're often the difference between life and death and yet they paid almost minimum wage. I don't know how they do it.

They are up there, but personal caretakers have a worse situation. They only make about 10-11hr and have to care for old people that they do not know !

They’re still at $15/hr? I’d be surprised if that were the case. They should be $25/hr in current economy. They have a decent amount of training

It’d a low skilled job and they abuse those people they don’t know often

Avg pay here is around 80k a year. Cops and teachers too.

Maybe because the low pay attracts low character people.

Paramedics make around what nurses make.
EMT's are a different and have minimal training for their minimal pay.
I am not saying they are not underpaid, almost every profession today is underpaid compared to how workers were paid just a generation ago.

I don’t know what hospice people make, but it could be a million per hour and it isn’t enough.

Not really. You just don't keep high character people without an avenue for advancement. You'll get entry level applicants, they just leave for better opportunities when trained.

Bro everything is underpaid
And money is fake
In the 1992 version of white men can’t jump they played the final game for a 5k prize
In the remake this year they play for 500k
1992 was only 40 years ago

I heard last night on Fox that rookie cops in NY only make $42,000/year

One vote for Baton Rouge Police Officers.
20 years on the job and I barley scratch 60k, which is drastically higher than the vast majority of cops doing the heavy lifting on the front lines with 7 or fewer years.
Elected leadership takes advantage of the resiliency it takes to be a career Baton Rouge Police Officer. Most, if not all of us, work 3 to 5 side jobs that pay market value to provide private security. You have to be a logistical wizard to make it with a family, balancing time away from home after your full time efforts to make enough to have more than the poverty level.
The running joke is that most people wouldn’t go down some of the streets we do in the middle of the night for all the money in the world. We do it for pennies on the dollar. It’s been that way since 1865 in Baton Rouge.
The 13% raise we received during two separate increments in the past two years helped dissolve the 9% inflation this country has experienced.
