It is getting beter though, there are some good rosters around the place now compared to the usual 2 week on 1 week off night/day roster.
9 days on 5 off is now widespread (unskilled jobs for operators, samplers, drillers), 8 days on 6 off gaining popularity, and some with 8/6 days-7/7 nights too.
Forget the 5:1 dish washing roster! Dollars per hour is probably pretty average anyway, even if its $80-100k pa.
