Living in Alaska with this kind of inflation is almost totally unsustainable unless there are two people working in a family.
Yeah, particularly here.
This isn't a place for poor people but hell, the jobs are plentiful here. I don't know how you stay poor in a place like this town unless it choice. The unemployment rate is kind of self regulating, people leave when jobs start to wane.
I was in the ER a couple weeks ago and it was a damn disaster in there. So short staffed and they pay well.

They pay well by your standard, or the current economy standard?

I find it refreshing to know most people I personally know and associate are so special they can succeed in this environment. Superhumans, all of them. Even the Millennials.
Feel better? Im sure youre not alone in your misery.

I wondered that too, but a lot of people out there just don't have any work ethic.

A lot of that has to do with the healthcare admin in Alaska being so shitty. Another part is the focus on only hiring traveling nurses at more $$$$ instead of focusing on increasing $ for existing staff to stay longer than 6 months - 2 years.

We're filling a position that was previously held by a 22 yr old guy who had no degree or experience. He still lived at home. He showed up late all the time, called in "sick" often, yet complained that he never had enough time saved up for vacation (b/c when he called in sick, his PTO was used until he had none left and then the company allows you to go negative up to 40hrs).
He did buy that $1500 folding Samsung phone, bought a Subaru WRX that he then modded to no end, and spent $10+ for lunch everyday at fast food places.
We finally let him go when he no called no showed twice. He called in to inquire about his last paycheck, but I'm pretty sure he owed the company money based on his borrowing of PTO time.
If he'd have been a good employee, he'd have been promoted within the year.
Exactly. That job sucks and that one bum could only handle doing it for so long. He was so miserable that the had to call in sick a bunch.

I've mentioned the opening to some twenty-something's I know and I've been asked if we're looking for felons at that starting wage? Posted on an online forum for the area and got the same responses. They said those are slave wages
These kids expect $25 hr+ to do menial tasks in an entry level warehouse position.
Brether, I am in the same boat but we are offering even more than $15.
$15 isnt shite and twenty somethings aren’t really kids
But on another note, they all think they can get rich fast. Go viral, invest in crypto, whatever. Or they their way into a suit job is to sit in a cubicle. They do not realize entry level positions can pay off, & pay off fast, if you are competent.

During/after the pandemic, Alaska was paying nurses and drs and RIDICOULOUS amount of money and incentives for them to come up and work for 6 months to 2 years. Even before the pandemic is was worth somebody's time and effort to move to AK to work for a year or two. In certain parts of the State , you could clear off a ton of debt working these jobs.

Good friend was the CEO of the regional health org, and he left for less pay in Oklahoma though he loved it here. The healthcare system here is pretty shitty, I got a $110k Airlift Northwest plane ride to Seattle because the ER physician couldn't read the MRI right a few years ago.
ALl the execs split the municipal hospital, its in bad shape. My oncologist comes up once a month from Seattle.

My opinion is I'm about to be 34, hopefully getting engaged soon, and make over 110k a year. For Denver, I literally couldn't get anything approaching a house that I wouldn't eventually lose my shirt so I'm forced to move to another part of the country, Charlotte. I'm going to do what all the Californians are doing in Denver to Charlotte, overpay for a house knowing that just baseline inflation at this point will mean it's better than renting.

When it comes to salaries, I don't think you can generalize very much.
I'm at a job where people are leaving left and right because we're overworked, underpaid, and have extra responsibilities that make the job unpleasant. As it's a customer-facing position, you have to deal with BS from both the customers and the admin who puts up a lot of unnecessary red tape and then wonders why employees are burning out.
I would hate to be ridiculed for wanting better just because the benefits of the position are good.

Two new neighbors are travel nurses, they rented a condo next to ours and are doing the Ironman Triathlon in town this summer. They make ridiculous money here.

We'll have a housing correction before too long. Median household income in the US is 67k and the average home is 270k. That's not sustainable long term, especially in a rising rate environment.
Money has been almost free to borrow for about 15 years but that's coming to an end.

They are a part of an entitled generation where everyone gets a trophy, there is a celebration of every grade level like it’s a great accomplishment to move from 2nd to 3rd grade, and are basically just spoiled brats that think they deserve to be paid just for being born.

Tried to convince some family members to move while I was up there to take jobs to help them pay off some debt they had accumulated. None of them would take the leap. Too afraid of change.

People keep saying this, but houses keep getting bought over asking. Inflation and rates will slow down the prices, but we just don't have enough houses in the market right now, and that's not something that gets fixed overnight. By the time the houses are built, overall inflation is going to keep the markets from crashing.

I would think entitled would be telling someone they need to work harder and longer just to make far less then what they made themselves. That seems entitled….
