Gaston County employees that make $50, $75, $100 an hour
Some Gaston County employees earn pretty nifty salaries. We haven’t checked to see what other North Carolina counties pay, but we thought you might be interested in this list of folks that make at least $50 an hour, or approximately $104,000 annually, or more.
Let us know what you think of these salaries
We did not include salaries of some of the lowest paid- which include EMT Basic positions. These jobs start at around $13.29 an hour. To compare, a full time transporter (driver) makes $13.39 an hour- and no life or death decisions to worry about. Full time library assistants make $14.85 an hour, animal care aides make $13.79 an hour. We also noticed that Gaston County has five EMS and EMT positions open, some since March of 2020. When you can make more driving a van, working in the library, or feeding the animals, why subject yourself to auto crashes and the like for less money? Maybe it’s time to consider getting these salaries in line with the stress and responsibility involved.
