“Rather than all this
Submitted by peterb on June 5, 2009 – 10:43am.
Rather than all this pontification about what these public service jobs are worth, why not let the market set this compensation? If a fire, police or any other position gets 500 applicants for every open position, I’d say it pays too much. Start lowering the comp package until you get 50 qualified applicants. How hard is that?
I think this is where unionization and fraternal organizations get in the way of a free market setting prices.”
