Demand for Higher Pay to Save Meteorology Posts
Wednesday's Daily highlights outrage at the Civil Service Commission for offering only 1080 a year for an assistant observer in meteorology, a role requiring advanced schooling. The piece argues such pay undercuts skilled work, risks losing qualified staff, and urges substantial salary increases or abolition of the bureau. It contrasts janitor wages with technical pay and notes broader college wage undervaluing. It also contemplates Wagner operas on film as a separate fantasy.
