Shocking Salaries
What we pay public employees in the city of LA. Via RonKayeLA, KPCC scoops the City Controller, who recently released the salaries, with a better salaries database -- searchable and better organized. In Ron's words:
In just a few seconds, you can find out that 81 city employees are paid over $200,000 and 243 over $150,000.It's nice work if you can get it and you clearly don't have to work that hard, obsiously.
Play around with KPCC's database by salary, position and department and report back what you find interesting.
Well the DBAs are being paid nicely. But with the cost of living in the LA -- I don't think it really would be that much more in real dollars than I make.
The other thing that people need to realize is that about 48% of the employed people are working for the a government agency -- either directly or through a contractor. That means government is too damn big.
Slight typo in the quoted text "obsiously".

There are 2336 "clerk typists" and "senior clerk typists" making a combined annual salary of $118,444,231.55. One hundred eighteen million dollars of typing a year! I wonder if it is single-spaced or double-spaced?
