$9 an hour to assemble packs is more than fair in most areas, it's not hard and we pay people more than that to solder our circuit boards, and that is a lot harder than packs.
Also isn't the exchange rate for AU a lot lower than the US?

I think Vegas has been hit worst than most other states. I saw my house go from 520k to 450k to 220k. How about 170k for a foreclosure in the neighborhood. Some people start crying over losing 10 percent. Dont come crying at my house. During the peak we had engineers all over 6 figures, and designers making 70-100k range. Everyone that I know has pretty much taken a 40 to 50 percent or so cut in pay when you include benefits (or lack thereof), again thats if you can find a job. If you check the want ads you will see architects offering autocad drafting jobs for 9 bucks an hour.
