[quote=Anonymous]There's a greater debate about the responsibility of employers in general to provide a living wage and not just nanny employers. But if that's your cause, then why post a stupid overall average USA Today statistic that probably doesn't even include the nannying profession?  It puts all of us employers on the defensive because you're insinuating that we're all swimming in raises every year and hoarding the money. My husband and I are both federal employees - no raises in three years and we all took a 20% pay cut for the summer due to furloughs. Many of the contractors on my street were either laid off this summer or saw their teams cut back drastically. So, no, in my view anyway, I don't see these raises this statistic talks about and I feel compelled by your attitude to point this out rather than having a legitimate discussion about living wage.

Also find it interesting that there have been two posts recently asking about how it works at office jobs as a comparison to how it should work for nanny jobs. And yet there are also posters here who will scream "apples and oranges!" At any mention of the comparison. [/quote]
