> relocation assistants

Does this mean something completely different in the US compared to the rest of the world? How is anyone in this business being underpaid?!

They're talking about the labor for moving things, and yeah, it's a "service" job so it too is owned by someone else who takes most of the profits.

Got it, that's a funny way to call movers.

Relocation agents (employed or freelancing) can easily bill $1000/day over here so I was a bit confused.

I recall the relocation agent I was setup with when hubting apartments in SF..

She was freelancing and looking forward to Obamacare -- having not had healthcare in 15 years.

I took note of that, because to me not having health insurance seemed completely unreasonable. I almost left the continent when HR tried to convince me I should trust "retroactive" insurance -- and I would get the policy after 30 days, lol.. maybe in just paranoid :)
