    The cement truck guys in this part of Jersey make less than $20/hr.

    Source: I do concrete work on the side.

    $20 an hour is bad for a home daily job?

    This state is ridiculously expensive to live in.

    The town that OP mentioned he took a job in had a median property tax of $8,392 in 2013 with median household income of $100,980 and is the 6th richest county in the United States according to Forbes.

    The only thing we have goin' for us is cheap fuel.

    I thought local would be awesome but it totally sucked. Just my experience. Most guys that go local usually go back OTR
