Regarding where do we get our information, here are the results from a
Cost of Living Analysis taken from a Web page done by DataMasters (email
at datamasters.com, i didn't write down the URL for the page).
Cost of living comparisons
National Average = 100
New York 219.7
Washington D.C. 123.4
Denver 103.9
Dallas 98.2
Since I live in Wisconsin, here is a comparison between Madison and New
York:
A $25,000 salary in Madison, WI offers the same buying power as a
$47,516.71 salary in NY,NY.
A $25,000 salary in NY,NY offeres the same buying power as a
$13,153.27 salary in Madison, WI.
Perhaps the bigger issue here is the persistant underpayment of
employees in the museum field. I am sorry, but many of the positions
available require MS degrees with years of experience, while the
starting salary is most often in the low 20s.
