Collision repair/some fab work, mechanical, electrical etc. Went through Francis Tuttle BSEP program, was ASE Certified, GM Certified. Worked at Bob Howard for a couple years. As far as worth, it's been a few years so I don't know what the going rates are at now.
I do need a part time fab person - all TIG, chromemoly and SS mix.
MoBoost, I am a soon to be furloughed employee and you are correct that in the strictest sense we (DoD employees) are going to be given 32 hours pay per week for 32 hours labor for 14 weeks from 8 Jul - 30 Sep. I am also a manager and we are being strictly enjoined to ensure that no one is working from home or working extra hours - there is no "volunteer time" either. No employee will be able to amass any compensable time or overtime during the furlough period (with a very few exceptions for some no-kidding life or death specialties).
The real issue arises, beyond the fact that people planned on 40-hour per week pay in their personal lives, because in DoD many, many civilian employees routinely worked extra hours for no overtime, sometimes for a little CT, but almost always less than the time worked. Why? Because many of us are previous career military and the thought of walking out at 16:30 "on the clock" while troops need something done is foreign to our past training and our personal desires.
However, to those who say "soldiers will die" if I don't work 40, well some probably died because you didn't work 50, or 60 - the job never ends. It's like police work - no cop ever says "well, crime is now ended, its Miller time" they just take an arbitrary break based on human endurance and available pay and acknowledge that there is always more to do. So, do your best in the time allotted and make sure you prioritize because we don't want to be swatting at gnats while there are elephants running wild.

Got my notice today. Again.
Upcoming military time will more than cover the loss in wages.
