That's not such great news unless the IFA agrees to actually implement these bench mark figures. This is just another waste of IFA subscriptions on 'a here's what you might have won...' exercise.
It's no use 'establishing what archaeological salaries should be' without taking the step of using that data in setting IFA minimums.
It will be a very difficult task to compare any other trades or professions to archaeology, but my tuppenny worth guess would be a figure of around £18.5k for a basic G2 wage - somewhat comparable with the pay of a 16 year old standing round on a building site or a junior academic research assistant. (By the way IFA, you can have that estimate for free and save yourself some consultancy fees).
How about it Mr Host, £18.5k minimum for G2 in 2008/2009?
