GRP - I would hope this is Tongue-In-Cheek but then again, this is The State of Oregon and obviously, those State Employees Unions are getting the job done or, just maybe, I've lost touch with what is a reasonable salary these days.
Oregon State Employees Underpaid
by Jerry Dawson
Friday, June 19. 2009
A quick look at the salaries posted on the State of Oregon Jobs page demonstrates clearly that our state workers are grossly underpaid.
Here are some examples:
Administrator – Office of Safety & Permanency for Children - $116,000 per year
Corrections Physician Specialist - $208,056 per year
ODOT Project Manager - $82,600 per year
Elections Director - $127,884 per year
Natural Gas Program Manager - $91,020 per year
Senior Policy Analyst – Department of Energy - $71,832 per year
Pharmacist – Oregon State Hospital - $110,592 per year
With wages this low I am not certain these needed positions will even be filled.
I call on the governor and the legislature to bump these salaries up to what is more in line with the private sector so we can get quality people in our state positions.
