Here are just a handful of personal stories shared:
+ "No real raises in 5 years, since it was more important for me to get my employees' salaries up."
+ "I have 2-4 jobs at any given time to pay bills."
+ "My salary doubled by switching from a department director to executive director, but so did my responsibilities."
+ "I live paycheck to paycheck at 72K/year and I can’t imagine how others at lower salaries feel. This field is severely underfunded and good people will keep leaving or just not applying for jobs because the pay is often not a realistic number. "
+ "The current salary (Northwest) is the same as I had in the Northeast 8 years ago"
