According to KUSI news, in 2006 40% of San Diego City firefighters made $100,000 or more. Plus they got a 6% raise this year, so close to 50% will make $100,000 or more a year now. That is pretty good for a job that does not need a college education and the employer pays for all the training.

Politicians, especially San Diego’s union-dominated city council, don’t dare challenge the public misperceptions of public safety workers.
The fact is, police work and firefighting isn’t very dangerous. Neither occupation shows up in the top ten (timber cutters and fishermen are #1 & #2). But their deaths are big news and shapes public opinion and is easily exploited.October 13, 2008 at 6:50 PM #287213EconProfParticipantWhile we certainly need firefighters and police officers, their pay is not set by the market but by political dictate and raw union power.
