[quote]With the unemployment rate over %12 in Klownifornia, exactly where in the private sector are these people highly sought after?[/quote]
The unemployment rate is over 12% for people without college degrees. December ’09 (nationwide) unemployment rate for people with bachelors’ degrees was 4.7%.
Everyone’s ire is understandable, but, with the city economy as bad as it is, last thing we need is incompetent leadership. And that’s what we’ll get if we try to squeeze their salaries. I’m sure that Sanders has enough connections that he can quit his job any day and jump directly into a higher management position of some private company, on a 200k+ salary.
