[Michlib-l] [EXT] Re: Assistant Director hourly wage in a Class 3 library

[Rebecca Daly]

There is a plethora of resources determining and advocating for equitable
salaries and wages via the ALA-APA- Better Salaries toolkit. It is from
2014, so you can calculate today's rates by using cost of living increases
(I think I looked at the Social Security annual COL percentage increases).
