Here are some wages of my TMs in the DC/MD/VA area.
All stores in district are $62 million a year or higher, most at least 2 levels or former Target Greatlands.
Starting at our store $9.00
Over night $10.00.
Flow TM with 16 years was at $16.23, average for 10 years plus was $13.
6 year Flow TMs hung around $11.35
Flow/BR TLs started near $15.
6 year BR TL was making $16.18.
Day side backroom TM that transfered from CT was bringing in $24 at 5 years - Target fired him quickly.
Sr.TLs start around $18.00.
ETLs start as low as $47,000 up to $72,000+. Lower is for recent college grads while the upper is for ex military or others with management experience.
Average household income for our area is $112,000. Average rent for studio/1 Bd starts at $1100 a month. Anything less would be found in a less desirable neighborhood, aka ghetto.
Don't know how TMs survive on $10 an hour, less than 26 hours in this area. Most on flow had multiple jobs. Y'all are under paid.
