The Times-Union posted the 2008 NYS Public Payroll database the other day. Pretty interesting stuff.
I’ve eliminated the “HOURLY” and come up with the 100 most highly paid NYS employees. SUNY/CUNY dominate the list.
The total bill for the Top 100 – $31,829,940.
Top 100 Salaried Employees (top100.xls – 71kb)
Thats way too much money, some of the salaries on that list should be re-evaluated.
Hard to know what is “too much”.
Me, personally? I’m not too proud to say that even an extra $50 would be welcome. If I made close to a million/year, I think I would only work a few years of my life.
I am totally with TourPro – what is too much? How really do you evaluate someone’s worth?
Who do you pay more, the guy that puts in a 12 hour day, without any complaint….. or the guy who does nothing all day but motivates the other guy, & his colleagues, to work that hard?
