[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1622302, member: 18945"] CCC paid workers $30 a month ($480 in today's dollars) + plus food, housing, and medical and dental care. Workers were required to send almost all of that $30 home to their families each month. Would it help? Maybe, assuming you could find people that were willing to perform labor for 1/3 less than what an E-1 in the US military currently makes. I've been around here enough to know not a single person here on this board would do it. Currently a private in the US Army makes $20,797.20 basic pay/year (doesn't include bonuses, allowances for food, housing, medical etc) $20,797.20 ÷ 12 months = $1733.10/month (not including fed/state withholding) . Working four 40 hr weeks (160 hrs), that = $10.83/hr US Army pay. $480 equivalent CCC pay tho ÷ by the same 160 hrs= $3/hr. That's less than 1/2 of federal min wage. [/QUOTE]
