New York City is signing up people to shovel snow for the upcoming blizzard. And they are requiring ID in order to sign up. I wonder if the work day will start when they play the Muslim call for prayer?

From Grok:

Municipalities like New York City hire temporary “emergency snow shovelers” during major storms to clear public spaces such as bus stops, crosswalks, fire hydrants, and step streets. Pay starts at $19.14 per hour and rises to $28.71 per hour after 40 hours in a week.

This is a paid gig, not volunteer work, and requires registration at a local DSNY garage with ID and photos.

Payments are issued by check, typically within 4–6 weeks (though it can take up to 12 weeks)............more..........
