John, Dean, et al.



This isn't "the future", it's "the present". When we're able to hire, we offer entry level salaries that MOST recent college grads would laugh at ... and based on our last attempt at hiring "experienced" staff, experience apparently only counts while employed with our agency ... private industry experience or experience with other state government agencies counts for little.



Bottom line is that those of us in state (and presumably federal as well) government are in it for more than just "the compensation". I would point out, though, that I'd put my retirement plan up against just about anybody's ... but then again, I'm on our "old plan". New hires have a retirement plan more similar to those found in private industry.



My $0.02 worth ...

"But what is the future going to be like if compensation at the state level does not compare with those of the regulated."



John, this is the future!  When did the compensation at the state level ever exceed those that they regulate?
