Job opportunity before winter in New York: $45 per hour
New York Municipality accelerated its pre-winter snow removal preparations. Emergency snowplow workers will receive $30 per hour, and after 40 hours per week, $45 per hour will be paid.
In the United States, the New York City government has begun hiring emergency snow shovellers to strengthen its snow removal teams before the winter season. Mayor Zohran Mamdani's administration has increased the wages for workers who will operate under the Emergency Snow Shoveler program. Under the new regulation, workers will receive $30 per hour, and $45 for hours exceeding 40 in a week.
Last winter, more than 7,800 New Yorkers participated in the program and took part in snow and ice removal work. The city moved the registration process to the fall in order to prepare earlier for the new season.
Three requirements for application!
Applicants wishing to work as emergency snow shovellers must be at least 18 years old, possess legal work rights in the United States, and be physically capable of performing heavy labor.
Assigned workers will be responsible for clearing snow and ice from bus stops, crosswalks, fire hydrants, and other public spaces.
The first registration will take place on September 19 in the Bronx.
The first registration event will take place at Taft High School in the Bronx on Saturday, September 19, from 09:00 to 17:00.
Address: 240 E 172nd Street, Bronx, NY 10457.
Registrations will then continue in the other four boroughs. Registration in Manhattan will be on September 26, in Brooklyn on October 3, in Queens on October 10, and in Staten Island on October 17.
Payment advantage for those who register by the end of November.
Those who complete registration before November 30, 2026, can attend the four‑hour paid orientation scheduled for December.
The municipality also aims to expedite the payment process for those who register before that date and to ensure that salaries are received within about two weeks after starting work.
New York Municipality announced that last winter, together with snow removal crews, 135,000 pedestrian crossings, 34,000 bus stops, and 29,000 fire hydrants were cleaned.
