该电工每小时工资20,一周工作40小时,愿意出750一个月租房,又不愿意和大学生分租

不过电工每小时工资20似乎低了一点,也不愿去打第二份工。就算如此,他月收入应该也有3000左右,却不愿意出1/3左右租房,可能又是一个个人选择的例子
-----------------------------------

The electrician in St. John's makes more than minimum wage, earning $20 per hour and working 40 hours a week.

He says he moved to St. John's a few years ago and had a place to live, but after he met his girlfriend, they wanted something bigger when his lease was up. He had an apartment lined up, but the landlord rented it to someone else, he said. Soon, he was single and living in his truck.

"It was cold," he admitted.

He said he could likely afford to pay about $750 per month on rent. But anything he could find in his price range was either already rented or a room in "a house full of college kids." According to Rentals.ca, the average rent in St. John's is currently $1,060 per month. There is nothing below $850.

Then, he saw the office listing.

The man sleeps on a futon mattress and said he eats "a lot of potatoes and pizza pops" that he can cook in his microwave. And when he needs a shower, he laughs that he has a "bird bath" in the sink.

He said it's actually pretty great for $450 per month — as long as he doesn't get caught.

"I feel like I'm really lucky to have what I have," he said, adding that he has a one-year lease and will try to stay as long as he can.
 
工资$20每小时,还以为中国呢。

学徒吧,正规电工起码$100每小时吧
 
$20是最低工资了。没有license的电工不是电工。
 
美国有好多人住自己的车里,他们都去哪儿洗澡?

some gyms, salvation army, ymca, etc. might offer shower places

also some employers offer shower and change rooms
 
如果有证,估计他接活不多,按他毛估估平均月工资。想象电工应该不止这工资。
 
帮有证的电工打下手,当学徒,一小时20刀正常。
 
后退
