About the work

A closer look.

Tell me the trade and the city. I have already done wood, metal, leather and ceramics the hard way: BLS and OES wage data, occupational-health sources on what each trade takes from a body, and the gatekeeping nobody writes down (who gets in, who gets turned away). You get a short PDF report, costed in 48 hours: start-up costs, material bills, what a hand actually earns per hour, the body cost, and the three numbers that decide whether it is worth it. The first number for your trade is free — ask before you buy.
