Oil Spill creates Mini Jobs Boom.

The money is not that great for simple workers:

The owner of Tamara’s Group is Martha Mosquera, a Colombian from Huila. “It’s sad, but they’re happy because there’s work,” says Mosquera. In addition to the costs of accomodation, the contractor pays them $12 an hour and gives them $30 to cover their travel and hotel.

For this wage, the women have been working 12 hours a day four weeks in a row, unloading oil containment barriers, or "boom," from trailers. The boom serves as a protective barrier around the marshland to protect it from the waves of crude oil.

I guess it doesn't bother you that nearly everybody that worked on the spill in Alaska about 22 years ago is now dead ?

How much pay do you want ?

Seems to me it better damn be well into 6 figures if you're possibly going to die doing it.

I don't know if the danger is the same as cleaning up the Exxon Valdez stuff or less or worse....but I think like $50/hour or so is what I'd need to even think about doing it...and I have a death wish !

IMO this is going to be the greatest natural, or in this case, man made disaster the world has ever seen. The extent of the eventual devastation & the related costs are not even close to the estimates being given. This will have enormous long range damage to waters distant from the gulf. They have no idea what to do. Truly a catastrophe!!
