what is the average starting salary in lakewood today for someone just joining the workforce out of kollel? Someone with little skills but has to be someone capable. I asked around a little bit seems like as low as 31k to 45k is that correct?

For capable people with no professional skills, its possible to get an $18 an hour salary, which roughly is equivalent to that.

Just gonna say for someone without skills that's pretty good. Most people start off in college working for less than that with no skills, but I believe Lakewood lacks responsible trustworthy workers, and therefore if you are a responsible adult even though your just starting off you have a better chance at getting a job for $18+.
I'm not who you think I am.

I’m told that if you’re trying to hire a competent girl to be a secretary it will start at $25 an hour here. Single girl right out of seminary.

How recent is your experience? The supply/demand gets greater every day.

Either way, this topic should be moved to its own thread.
