Looking to pick up extra money for the holidays? Look no further. The sanitation department is hiring people to shovel snow from city buildings this winter for a whopping $10hr.
Shovellers will be on call when a heavy snowfall hits to help remove snow from steps and sidewalks outside city buildings.
…
The bad news is that researchers have reported an increase in the number of
fatal heart attacks among snow shovelers after heavy snowfalls. This rise may be due to
the sudden demand that shoveling places on an individual’s heart. Snow shoveling may cause
a quick increase in heart rate and blood pressure. One study determined that after only
two minutes of shoveling, sedentary mens’ heart rates rose to levels higher than those
normally recommended during aerobic exercise.
Backbreaking labor that might kill you for $10 bucks an hour? Sounds like the dream job of a lifetime.
