2ride Posted August 25, 2022 Share #1 Posted August 25, 2022 Can someone tell me if the railroads are the best agencies to work for inside MTA? How does Metro North or LIRR compare to other ones such as NYCT, Office of Capital Construction, Bridges and Tunnels, and etc? Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinklikeamango Posted August 27, 2022 Share #4 Posted August 27, 2022 Quote Railroad retirement is one of the biggest reasons I believe, we don't pay into social security we pay into railroad retiremet see here www.rrb.gov Here are some averages, Average social security benefit monthly in 2022 - $1,666 Average railroad retirement benefit monthly in 2020 (couldn't find an updated #) - $2985 Also if your married your spouse will get half of what your getting from railroad retirement also just for being married to you minimum 10 years, so your spouse would get $1492 just for being married to you. This is all ontop of your MTA pension and start collecting at 62. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Railroad pay, retirement , benefits, advancement, quality of life are deemed to be better. Railroad goes through thousands and thousands of applications/resumes to pick individuals out for a even just a interview . The other agencies anyone can take tests for such positions and eventually get hired, in addition to promotional ones. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
