(Not) Keeping Up with Our Parents: Just Being Middle Class Is Becoming out of Reach

[Scott & Lai 12]

My wife is wrapping up her first year of teaching. Her salary sucks.

NJ publishes salaries online of all public employees, including teachers. I looked up her instructor at her masters program, she is a reading specialist with 30 years of experience at a public school... her public school salary after 30 years of time is less than 90... which is probably why she needs to moonlight at the university...

O/T did you read that bit about the NYPD recently? Apparently the salary of an NYPD officer is significantly lower than it is in other states with a lower cost of living. The policeman's union has been criticised by the mayor of NYC for promoting the higher salaries available in other states.

There was an article in the paper here about how much public official make and the school superintendent made significantly more than the police chief! I guess all those kids are way more dangerous than fighting crime

In L.A. it's equally dangerous...

There are over 20,000,000 illegal immigrants here. Most working below $6 an hour. I hate it when people fail to accept or acknowledge the effect of this on Americans and their living standard.

Fukcin Mezikans......

You cannot discredit the effect they have had on the country. We are not talking about 50,000 or 500,000 but 20 million here. The excessive number of unskilled workers has lowed wages. Simple as that. And that is not even factoring in the hundreds of billions spent on services for them.

They've had no effect on me. In the end, that's all that matters.

finally!

you're the first one on the wrong side of the illegal immigration debate to admit it. it hasn't effected you so "f*** everyone it has."

thanks for the honesty.

You're welcome. If poor and unskilled immigrants affect you, then you're a loser.

I guess it depends on what school district you work in.

You liberals make me sick, with all the whining about those poor uneducated Americans. They need to rise up above it all, pull themselves up by their bootstraps like the rest of us. If they can't compete with no-english unskilled Mexicans, they are useless and a burden on our society. Stop whining about their fate, you bleeding heart!!

I was curious - if it were in there that would be a little OTT.

I wonder sometimes what new excuse they'll come up with if and when the illegals get out or become legals.
