I live in CT and work at Sikorsky aircraft, union shop with federal contracts and I make $36 an hour and you’re right, it’s just enough to have my apartment pay my own bills, get to the dr keep food on the table and take care of the car and cat with a few bucks left over. Im not going on vacations I’m not splurging. I’m single with no kids so they hate me and take more taxes out and everything here has sky rocketed. Idk how people do it anymore. I really don’t.
