Regarding salaries and not-for profits:
The avg. wages of many Americans (read those currently employed) have
stagnated or declined in the last 20 years. Salaries in the arts and not-for
profits in general have always been out of step with private sector
compensation.
I think Lisa is correct (see snippet below). $7.21 for a full-time term
appointment. The only positive aspect of seeing this posting is the wake-up
call it may send to many professionals, especially those beginning their
careers.

I'm sorry, but I think we need to do something about museum
salaries....$15,000. for a FULL_TIME professional position?! Who can
possibly live on anything lower than $25,000 and even that is a feat
worth commemorating, I don't care where you live.
In general, most museum positions pay poorly--why? and what can we do to
change this?
