Job Title: Vamp Throater
National Average Salary: $10.05 per hour (January 2001 data)


With Halloween approaching, this job title might cause you to do a double-take. Alas, responsibilities for this position don't involve helping Count Dracula or his kin find a good neck. "Vamp" refers to the upper part of a shoe, and vamp throaters (along with vampers, vamp creasers, vamp liners, and others) operate or tend machines that join, decorate, reinforce, or finish shoes and shoe parts.
