How much money do you make?
If you are Jimmy Carter, your job
pays $200,000 a year, plus such
assorted “perks” as a rent-free lease
at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. But the
hours are long, and there’s no over
time pay.
The average slam-dunker in the
National Basketball Association
earns $143,000 — a sky-high leap
from $20,000 in 1967. Touchdown
passes in the National Football
League go from a $113,932 quarter
back to a $64,631 receiver.
Actor Steve Mcqueen, reported
ly the highest-paid worker in the Un
ited States, commands $5 million a
picture plus a percentage of the pro
fits — a level which allows him to
work only three or four months a
year.
But before you head for Holly
wood, heed these average annual in
come figures compiled by the Screen
Actors Guild: $7,380 for actors,
$4,908 for actresses.
Comparing salaries among various
occupations is difficult. Figures pul
led together from various sources —
government reports, professional
organizations and other groups —
may represent different time periods
or different methods of computation.
But when they are put together,
they provide an interesting answer
to an interesting question: Are wages
equitable?
UPI interviewed workers in va
rious fields as well as economists who
have studied the issue of wages,
trying to find out what jobs earn how
much money and why.
The answers reveal a wide range of
factors that influence salaries and
just as wide a range of satisfaction or
dissatisfaction felt by workers whose
paychecks are eroded daily by the
highest inflation in 33 years.
Consider the joke about the doctor
shocked by the bill he gets from the
plumber. “This is outrageous,” he
sputters. “I’m a doctor, and I don’t
earn this much.”
“When I was a doctor,” the plum
ber replies, “neither did I.
Doctors earn a reported average of
$55,000 ayear. Some specialists earn
more, as much as $71,000 reported
for orthopedic surgeons, but others
earn less, including psychiatrists,
whose income is said to he $45,000.
Now listen to Chuck Ollinger, a
plumber in Erie, Pa., whose average
60-hour work week brings in $45,000
a year, which he shares with his wife
and son who help him in the busi
ness.
“We make a decent living these
days,” Ollinger says, “but we don’t
get rich. The money doesn’t add up
compared to the time you put in and
what you have to go through to make
it. It’s just not worth it any more. In
just the last three or four years it’s
been a hassle.”
Figures from the Census Bureau
show that in early 1979 the average
yearly income of American families
headed by a full-time worker was

$18,000 — about 20 percent higher
than the figure for the mid-1970s.
Families headed by white workers
in white-collar jobs averaged
$25,500, with bluecollar families
averaging $18,600. Blacks earned
less in both categories.
The highest-paid hourly em
ployees were construction workers,
with wages of $8 an hour. At the
other end were waiters and waitres
ses, who earned $2.90 an hour, be
fore tips.
Education is a factor in determin
ing salaries, with college graduates
consistently earning more than
workers whose education stopped at
high school. But increasing salaries
for technical jobs has caused the gap
between salaries based on level of
education to shrink in recent years.
Some other figures:
A school teacher in Mississippi
earns an average of $9,000, which is
$4,500 less than the average
teacher’s salary nationwide and even
farther behind the $16,(XX) earned
bv teachers in New York.
Firefighters and police officers in
large cities make $17,000, the same
as the average postal worker. The
average scientist earns $24,000,
ranging from $30,000 for physicists
to $20,000 for geographers.
The president of a large corpora
tion earns $250,000 in salary, not in
cluding benefits, but he (or she)
works an average of 60 hours a week.
In major television markets, the per
son who anchors the local news show
earns an average of $200,000 a year.
File clerks average a little more
than $7,(XX) a year, while the top
level of computer operators have
salaries averaging $17,250. Secretar
ies range from $10,300 to $15,700,
while attorneys average from
$18,700 right out of law school to
nearly $57,000 at the top of their
field.
One important factor in salaries, of
course, is success. In 1931, when the
presidency paid only $75,000, much
of the country was shocked when
baseball star Babe Ruth was offered
$80,000 to play for the New York
Yankees.
Asked if he deserved to earn more
than President Herbert Hoover,
Ruth is said to have replied: "Why
not? I had a better year than he did. ”
Why does your job pay as much —
or as little — as it does? Adam Smith,
whose pioneer work “Wealth of Na
tions” helped form economic think
ing more than 200 years ago, listed
some criteria which are still accurate
today.
First, Smith said, wages are deter
mined by how agreeable or disagree
able a job may be. This principle is
further influenced by the law of
supply and demand: if a job is so
desirable that, everyone wants it —
and anyone can do it — the wages it
brings are likely to be low, if all other
factors are equal.
But all other factors rarely are
equal. Smith’s second principle is
that wages depend on how easily and
cheaply a skill can be learnti
Everyone might want to be paidi
well as a doctor, but not everyonti
able or willing to go through years;
exacting medical training.
A third factor cited by Smith i
points up why professions suchi
medicine and the law commands*;
high fees.
“We trust our health to theplro
cian,” Smith said, “our fortuneaai
sometimes our life and reputatim
the lawyer and attorney. Suchcoii
dence could not safely be reposed
people of a very mean or low conii
tion.
“Their reward must be suck
therefore, as may give them tk
rank in society which so importanls|
trust requires.
