So today I was looking at jobs for a nonprofit I used to work for. A lot of it is annual contract work, and I saw they were hiring for the same position I did on contract in 2015/2016. Back then it paid 19/19.75 hr. respectively on 2 one year contracts. The contract now pays 18.50 hr., like WTF? After 8 years and record inflation the wage had gone down? How does that even happen? Adjusted for inflation it should be 24.50-25.25 hr. but instead it has actually decreased, I'm just baffled by how ridiculous the job market has gotten. Rant over, thanks for reading.
