I have a relative who is totally unskilled just got a job driving dump trucks for Rio and starts on $137k plus benefits.

Truck driving jobs out in the wheatbelt are getting ~$23/hr, Far more skilled and dangerous than getting around a mine.

Seems a bit out of touch to me.

Are you serious about that comment?

If you are I doubt you have ever been near a large scale mining operation and you are the one that is out of touch!
