Problem:When Noel Molina smells trash, he smells money. Lots of it. 
  
 Molina and his co-worker, Tony Sankar, have been picking trash together for a decade in New York City. 
  
 They've seen, and smelled, it all. Stale fish, footlong rats, dead pigs and cows. Countless drunks have heckled them. And yes, one time Sankar saw a human leg in a dumpster. 
  
 They work the graveyard shift -- 7 p.m. to 3 a.m. -- rain or shine, ice cold or burning hot. 
  
 And yet, they love their job. Part of the reason is they get paid well for their hard work. 
  
 "Your trash is my money," Molina, 32, says with a baby-faced grin. 
  
 Molina made $112,000 last year as a garbage truck driver and Sankar made $100,000 as a helper, riding on the back of the truck. Their wages have grown in eight of the last nine years, according to their bosses, brothers David and Jerry Antonacci, owners of Crown Container, a waste management company.

 Molina dropped out of high school in the 10th grade and he's worked at Crown for 10 years. He says his starting salary was about $80,000. Sankar too dropped out of school before migrating to the U.S. from Guyana 20 years ago. 
  
 Not everyone makes six figures, but most trash workers are doing better than high school dropouts and even graduates. 
  
 Nationwide, the annual salary for a garbage truck driver is $40,000, according to the Labor Department. Across all professions, high school dropouts earn about $24,000, while high school graduates make $30,000 annually, according to the U.S. Education Department. 
  
 Molina and Sankar are aware that they outearn many people with a college degree. 
  
 Guys who go to college might not make the kind of money "(I make) on the back of a garbage truck, picking up trash," says Sankar.

 Not only do they earn a good salary, their wages are growing faster than the average too. Nationwide, wages for trash workers have grown 18%, which is a lot faster than the 14% average for all workers since the recession ended in June 2009. 
  
 That's because it's not easy to find workers in the business. Employers can't find qualified truck drivers, landfill operators or mechanics. 
  
 David Antonacci says he got 50 applications when he advertised for a truck driver's job. Only four applicants had a commercial drivers license and all four had penalties on their licenses. So Antonacci couldn't hire any of them.

 That lack of available talent is one key reason why Antonacci and others in the industry have given out raises at a faster pace than the national average. 
  
 It's the same story in other parts of the country. Kathy Morris runs a waste management facility in Davenport, Iowa, and she's raised wages to retain employees. 
  
 "Not only has the demand for workers increased but (so have) the types of skills," says Morris, director of the Waste Commission of Scott County. The landfill operators at her site make about $50,000 a year.

 It's far from an easy job. Beyond the stench, Molina and Sankar lift heavy trash bags every night, weave through traffic, and talk to each other constantly for safety. They work a lot too -- 55 to 60 hours a week. 
  
 Outside of physically grueling work, negative stigmas deter young adults from applying even though the barrier for entry isn't high: private trash companies don't require a high school diploma. Truck drivers need a commercial drivers license, which some employers will train employees for. 
  
 But there's job security, says David Biderman, executive director of Solid Waste Association of North America, the association that represents thousands of waste management workers. 
  
 Biderman argues the waste industry offers long-term job security for working class folks. Both Molina and Sankar have full health care coverage and a 401(k) retirement account. If they leave the job, they are entitled to severance pay too.

 "We're one of the very few blue collar jobs that can't be outsourced to China," he says. 
  
 There are also new opportunities in trash. New types of recycling have created more jobs. At Morris' site in Iowa, she has a crew that only separate recycling for wood, roof shingles, kitchen appliances and electronics. 
  
 Morris has 45 employees now, up from 35 in 2009. Morris plans to hire six more people this year to handle a new recycling system. 
  
 Nationally, there are 50,000 more trash workers today than there were in 2010, according to Labor Department data. 
  
 Given the shortage of workers, some of them can hope to earn the six-figure salaries of Molina and Sankar, who are members of a labor union that helps negotiate higher salaries.

 Molina is buying his first house, a 4-bedroom in Freeport, New York. Divorced with three kids, Molina wants them to have a place outside the city. 
  
 Sankar, 48, supports eight of his nine kids -- the oldest is an adult. 
  
 On a cold February night, Sankar and Molina were on their route when a young man asked Sankar if Crown was hiring. Sankar gave the young man the company's address and said to call. When told how much Sankar makes, the young man was in disbelief: 
  
 "No, I wouldn't believe that." 
  
 Sankar picked up the last bag at the site, chucked it into the back, jumped onto the truck and smiled. 
  
 "It's a good paying job," said Sankar, laughing into the winter night. ||||| Occupational Employment and Wages, May 2017

 About May 2017 National, State, Metropolitan, and Nonmetropolitan Area Occupational Employment and Wage Estimates 
  
 These estimates are calculated with data collected from employers in all industry sectors, all metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas, and all states and the District of Columbia. The top employment and wage figures are provided above. The complete list is available in the downloadable XLS files. 
  
 The percentile wage estimate is the value of a wage below which a certain percent of workers fall. The median wage is the 50th percentile wage estimate--50 percent of workers earn less than the median and 50 percent of workers earn more than the median. More about percentile wages. 
  
 (1) Estimates for detailed occupations do not sum to the totals because the totals include occupations not shown separately. Estimates do not include self-employed workers. 
  
 (2) Annual wages have been calculated by multiplying the hourly mean wage by a "year-round, full-time" hours figure of 2,080 hours; for those occupations where there is not an hourly wage published, the annual wage has been directly calculated from the reported survey data. 
  
 (3) The relative standard error (RSE) is a measure of the reliability of a survey statistic. The smaller the relative standard error, the more precise the estimate. 
  
 (8) Estimate not released. 
  
 (9) The location quotient is the ratio of the area concentration of occupational employment to the national average concentration. A location quotient greater than one indicates the occupation has a higher share of employment than average, and a location quotient less than one indicates the occupation is less prevalent in the area than average.

Solution:
No one wants to be a doctor in New Zealand for $267,000 a year, but getting paid $100,000 to sift through giant rats, dead animals, and even human body parts is right up Noel Molina and Tony Sankar's alley. Both men made six figures as NYC garbage collectors last year (Molina $112,000 as a driver, Sankaer $100,000 as a helper), complete with health insurance and a 401(k), CNNMoney reports. And although not all trash workers rack up those kind of bucks, most enjoy a higher salary than not only many high school dropouts (with median earnings in 2013 of about $24,000, per the Department of Ed), but many high school grads ($30,000) and even some college grads ($48,500 for those with a bachelor's degree). Per the Department of Labor, the median annual wage for "refuse and recyclable materials collectors" is $33,600, with those in the top 10% pulling in $58,590. And if you're in a high-paying state, those wages are even more: In New York, for example, the annual mean wage is $52,570, or just over $25 per hour. To be sure, Molina and Sanka earn that paycheck: They work 55 to 60 hours a week from 7pm to 3am, do lots of heavy lifting in unsafe environments and all sorts of weather, and deal with stuff no one else would want to (that human body part: a leg Sankar spotted in a dumpster). And some people feel there's still a stigma attached to handling trash. But it's a relatively easy field to get into: There's no high school diploma needed for many private companies, and firms will often train for the commercial license required to drive a truck. Plus industry wages have been consistently rising, qualified workers are in demand, and there's plenty of job security. "We're one of the very few blue-collar jobs that can't be outsourced to China," the director of the Solid Waste Association of North America says. (Garbage collectors are even considered to be "green" occupations.)
