How much do one earn in New Hampshire?

[lordmetroid]

I have no idea what kind of money one can get a hold of in USA never the least in New Hampshire.
So I wonder how much can one expect from a job per year?
What do cashiers earn for an example?

Cashiers at major stores like Wal Mart, Target, etc., will usually start at $7.00 per hour or more. Manchester Wal Mart, for instance, has a starting wage of $7.50 per hour. Most offer automatic raises after a certain amount of time.

Most full time employees will work 30-40 hours per week. It's not unusual to have a second or third job.

Alright, so is there any job one can live on without having two jobs? I don't really see how one can have two jobs if one works 40 hours a week... That must be hell!

How much do one earn on a normal job? I have qualities that is far superior to be wasted on a cashier job.

depends on what job and what position you enter at, entry level or above

what is your education? age? experience?

In general people living in New Hampshire earn between 0 and 100 million dollars per year, though some may earn more.

If you are entry level, expect entry-level wages.

If you are a skilled professional, NH wages are generally above the national average by a few ticks.

If you are willing to commute to Boston and pay Massachusetts non-resident taxes (some people on this forum would refuse such an arrangement), you can earn a pretty good wage, but (for me, anyway) it would be a pretty severe detriment to one's quality of life.

Cost of living (depending where you live) can be lower or higher than what you're used to.

I think it works out that you can keep more of your paycheck here than in other states, but that largely depends on your habits as well (i.e., if you eat out a lot, the tourism-oriented taxes will take a bite out of your wallet).

It really depends on whether you have skills and such. My girlfriend is working retail, and she makes $8.50 as a cashier at Staples, but she also has benefits like reduced insurance.

I know people who manage to pay rent just fine on these retail wages.

In the HVAC industry, people are earning around $28k/year to start (unskilled, getting on-the-job training), or anywhere from $40k/year and up to $100k/year for skilled tradespeople.  Typically, we work 45-55 hours per week during the winter and closer to 40 during the summer.

MS, you know any HVAC openings for someone with just under a year experience (plus school).  Here in MO I must work 2 jobs [70ish hours/week.     ]  to have at least a modicum of spending money and the cost of living is much lower than NH.  Once I get this situation taken care of I should be able to make the move.  I work for an industrial company. 

In short, damn New England and the high cost of living!

I'm working as a retail manager and get paid $18.85 an hour with a guaranteed 44 hours a week. Benefits suck though, but the pay is good. Company isn't that great either, but it's better than eating dog food and living in my car.

Beware: Pay may be higher in NH than in other places, but the cost of living here is also higher. Since you're in Sweden, I doubt it would be higher than what you're used to.

A cashier job at 40 hours a week will probably get you 900 - 1000 dollars a month, after taxes.

Which isn't shit. I guess this is where the extra hours come into play.

If you search on "salary calculator" there are a number of sites that host a tool which allows you to enter your current zip code and or state and compare it with other zip codes and or states to see what a comparable salary would be to where you currently live.

For instance when my wife and I moved to NH from CT we used a salary calculator and we discovered we were able to take a HUGE pay cut and still have the same standard of live.  As luck would have it we actually ended up finding jobs that made more.

There are also calculators that narrow it down by type of work you do etc and tell the average salaries for each area.

Quite a bit of good information out there for people looking to relocate.

I tried one of the above-mentioned salary calculators and I'm screwed.  Anyone know of any single rich girls I can hook up with??
