HelitzerBlouseGirl had a busy summer vacation. In the upcoming months, the fruits of that summer vacation, will show up in my day in the life series. I'm looking forward to blogging about some exciting modern American workers and business owners. .
Until then, here is a link to a great article on salaries. We've all been asked that dreaded and taboo question, "oh, how much are you being paid?" There's a reason you feel uneasy about answering that question and why we are taught not to ask new workers that question. The article features quotes from economic Professor Kevin Hallock, of Cornell University School of Industrial and Labor Relations (ILR), my beloved undergraduate school. The article features the story of new work force entrant,Yelana Sher, ILR graduate.
