Posted by Henry R32 #3730 on Wed May 2 20:15:28 2012, in response to Re: MTA Bonds - NYS Takes Its Cut Off the Top, posted by BrooklynBus on Wed May 2 17:12:18 2012. Using the 2010 numbers available here, at MTA headquarters, there were:274 people making > $100,000/yr. There were 691 people making between $25,000 and $100,000. So 28% of MTA HQ staff made over $100,000 (I am not including people below $25,000 at all, which would have swung the numbers even more against your statement). Using the LIRR as an example, there are 1714 > $100,000, with the #3-5 most paid being an engineer and two conductors, to the tune of ~$240,000 each. Also in the > $200,000 crowd are an RCI, a track Foreman, Helena Williams, the CIO, a few more engineers/conductors, and some random VPs. Looking at the list, conductors and engineers are heavily represented in the $100,000+, club, and generally near the top. The $25,000-$100,000 group totals 5026 for lirr. So 25% of LIRR made over $100,000 in 2010 (calculation excludes below $25,000), and a good chunk of them are not office monkeys. So yeah, while it is certainly nice to think that becoming an MTA office worker is a fast track to six figures, the percentages are pretty much the same. And remember, many management and other office positions are overtime exempt, so they couldn't make more even if they wanted to... and sometimes you end up working unpaid overtime. |
