Error during command authentication.
Error - unable to initiate communication with LISTSERV (errno=10061, phase=CONNECT, target=127.0.0.1:2306). The server is probably not started.
Hi again, I really am very excited to see this serious discussion come up. Perhaps it is not a new topic, though in my 9 years or so of being on the list, I have not seen it as a discussion. And I agree we are preaching to the converted, but perhaps, all our machinations will help us to arrive at a consensus with some teeth in it, or at least a succinct statement of the obvious..... I have just taken a look at the Library of Congress' webpage, and the job listings. It is a real eyeopener, since techincians are listed at GS-7 which pays between $31 and $40 K a year. Professional jobs seem to have GS 9, 10, or 11 ratings, with GS 9salaries starting at around $40K, and GS 11 at $46- $60K. Also, there are promotional possibilities(what a concet!) at the GS 13 level, which pays over $75K. Well, just thought I would throw this into the mix....someone told me that the federal salaries are getting a 4.9% raise this year so that the "public sector salaries more closely match those in the private sector." HA. Hope your blood is boiling....
