[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] *comes back after fighting a very very VERY bad cold to a stalemate (we declared an armistice yesterday)* Couple points of order: 1. In a union of 50 states, SOMEBODY has to be first, and somebody HAS to be last. It's a false example, like saying "AIEE! 50% of students scored below average!!" Yeah, and the other 50% above. That's what averages are. So, a ranking means very little if the spread isn't much. If the top salary is, say, 34K, and the lowest salary is 32K, that's only a difference of 2K. So what's the spread? 2: I don't know about other places, but the library I work at pays its staff a certain percentage above minimum wage, in order to remain competitive. Now, in some organizations, that may be just great. But in a place on a pretty-much-fixed budget, a raise in one area necessarily requires a drop in some other area. And since minimum wage STILL isn't the same as a living wage, raising it really doesn't have much of an effect on anybody's quality of life, outside of students with no other source of support, anyway.
