Wage Levels ?? where to set them? - the invisible man - 22nd June 2004

As I have hinted before, it's a simple matter of supply and demand. There is no god given right to a certain salary because someone has a degree.

The clue is in the phrase "commercial archaeology".

There may be no god given right but most commercial opperations operate at a profit and pay graduate trainees a salary they can live on. This makes commercial sense, as you can pick and choose your employees more, thus makeing you more profitable. Archaeology is possibly the only occassion a profession has got together to form a cartel to keep salaries low and profits non existant. Surely a missuse of the word commercial.

You can pick and choose your employees when there are more applicants than vacancies. Yes, if you want the "best" you can offer above the going rate. As this does not seem to occur it might say something about how much value the employers place on "digger level" staff and their skills.

Whether there is a cartel is perhaps debatable, but I feel there is a viscous circle (please remember I am not a professional so I'm probing here) - tenders will have to be higher to be able to pay higher wages. So why aren't they if there is a shortage of experienced diggers?

Monkey, your other points about job security and so on are indeed a much debated problem that frankly I am struggling to offer any suggestions.
