The Realities of Pay Scales in Context of Scoping and Bidding Work - Ep 219

There has been quite a bit of talk on social media recently centering on pay scales for archaeologists and how the average rate should be/can be increased to meet a threshold that is livable and commensurate with experience and skills. There are some that assume that upper management is out to cheat the average arch tech. Although that may be true in some cases, the subject is much more complex than just an arbitrary decision or pay. The only way to improve the current climate with respect to pay is to understand the driving forces behind pay rates. Understanding the nuances may not only improve your chances of being paid more, it will improve your overall professional well-being.
