Hey Ohioans, what's in your neighbor's wallet?
You can find out if he or she works for a Federal, State or Local Government (*) institution. Just go to the Buckeye Institute website and click the proper sub-category on the left side.
Or, of course, you could download their iPhone app which allows the same thing. This is useful when you are waiting in line at the post office and want to know how much that slowpoke behind the desk is getting paid to bitch at customers. In fact, a recent press release from the Buckeye Institute shows that searches on USPS salaries are the most common among the federal salary searches. Interesting.
(*) - Actually I don't think they have all the localities in their database yet. But the do have some major cities (Cleveland, Youngstown, etc.) and pretty much all the school districts which are most interesting to me anyway.
Thank you for that link; it's nice to have somewhere to access that information! And you know what? I'm really actually pleased with what the teachers in my school district are making.
ReplyDeleteTrue; I'm mainly concerned about non-teacher employees of school districts. But always remember to divide a teacher salary by .75 when comparing to salaries of those who do not get the entire summer off.
ReplyDeleteI get your point, but they don't all get the whole summer off, nor do they work a straight 9 to 5 day during the school year. The Musician will be putting in several weeks worth of band camp this summer, for example, and her band director is involved in all of it. The middle school band director will probably be there a lot also; he helps out with the high school band. The fact that we have one of the best high school bands in the state is probably not a coincidence.
