I am sure he has done the absolute best he could. The Hobbitt title will benefit from all the initial lessons which is a good thing.

For the WOZ bashers - an employment opportunity.  ^^^

Anticipating the obvious, I dare say Stern would pay a similar rate for semi skilled labour....

Have to love US labour laws.

$9 per hr.......wtf... :lol
There must be a stack of illegal immigrants keen to take the gig.
Then jjp and stern can debate about who has the crappiest cheap arse workers.

How do u get absolute quality workmanship at those rates. ??
If the machines come with loads of faults, we will all know why. $9 an hour. ? lol  but, I am sure they will be fine......

12 years ago, a friend went to work in the USA at a very low end Los Angles Bar, and was getting $15 per hour back 12 yrs ago, plus was making apx $20 per hour in tips on a real bad night.
Fast forward 12 yrs, and u are working on your feet for 8 hrs at $9 an hour on cement...?
Someones making millions and someone is making peanuts. Maybe its just me, but anyone I have ever employed, I have always tried to pay the most, not the least if I could. A sign of the times ??

Just a single example of the bigger picture of US labour laws as it pertains to semi skilled or unskilled labour.

Minimum wage in New jersey is 7.25/hour and 8.25 in Illinois.

Aus is 15.96.

I think the rate u mentioned for Australia is permanent, and is that an Aust adult ?, cause I recently got figures to employ someone permanent casual who was an adult and it was like $22 an hour minimum, plus super plus plus plus.

Those rates in the USA, who honestly works for those rates ? are they realistic, or just some technical minimum that is in some book, but everyone says no way hosay to ?
I would really love to know what people honestly say when someone offers them $8 or $9 an hour, do they laugh n just get up n walk out, or do they say thankyou ? any USA members here to throw some light on the subject....

Australia is THE BEST country on the planet.

How many people at $9 an hour will be on the JJP line. 50, 100 ? Time will tell.

Yes, that is FT per hour rate for Aus to keep it comparable with the US figures. Casual wages attract a base loading rate of an additional 23% above minimum.

Interesting reading below:

Your article says alot about America.
My brother often tells me America is a broken country. I ask him, broke, or broken ?, for which he always replies, Both ! lol

If JJP and Stern can build machines for $9 an hour good on them, but now I know why my last BNIB did NOT work when i took it out of box and I had to fix multiple things over a 3 day period, before I could play my first game. 3 days to play the first game, I kid u not.
Thats $9 an hour raring its unhappy head........

I'd still work there for $9 an hour. At least I could say I have worked in the pinball industry   ()

What is a 'Pre-registration' anyway?

Surely we registered ourselves when we foolishly sent thousands into his bank account
