Depends on the job. When I could work, I took whatever was available. Even manual labor.
$9 an hour is about par where I live for temp work. That usually means the temp agency is getting $20 to $24 an hour.
I'm just surprised that a temp agency is still at the $9/ hour rate for unskilled labor. I haven't done that in 14 years and there was a raise in minimum wage about 10 years ago.
