depends what the client wants to pay. usually they tell you what it pays. and it is not always construction. I worked tru labor ready and was assinged at Rentway making 9$ and hour for 3 months. I really didnt work very hard.

If that's like temp services out here, sometimes you can land a half decent factory gig after a few months if they want to hire you on.

I think so. I heard they pay ****, but I might get paid for taking people to their job since most don't have a car. You fill out an application for the company that organizes everything, go there at 6am and hope you get a job for the day. The labor pool company pays the person you work for and they give you a check at the end of the day.

I did this before and was doing stuff in the cafeteria at one of the colleges here. Was easy money. Also did catering for a company too, still easy money.

No...

I was lucky enough to land a real gig. Most labor pools pay sheit. Whoever you work for will most likely be paying the labor pool top dollar but you will only get the bare min.....

I've done it a few times a long time ago, when times were rough.

I thankfully have been employed at the same place for 10+ years.

When I did do it, it was a place called Labor Ready. work today, pay today

it was get there by 5:30am and hope they have a job for you.

minimum wage, if you don't have a car, then they charge you for a ride.

Last time I was there, I dug a hole for 8 hours, and made about $25

You could probably make more money selling your plasma a few times a week.
