It's kind of a strange situation, because those salaries are public information, but the article just made it too easy and effortless to find out. Most folks wouldn't think to go look up their neighbor's salary, but having it dropped right in front of them is probably too tempting for most to ignore. While I'm here... for all those Google searchers, take a look <a href="http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos158.htm#earnings" rel="nofollow">here</a>. And to anyone offended by the first comment on this post (the one by jim), I apologize. It was just too funny and ironic to delete. Thanks for the comment Brenda.

Listing all of the salaries was intrusive and in very bad taste. Most people simply do not wish their friends and neighbors to have that kind of personal information about them. To most people their wages are a gage of their self worth. It is wrong of course, but many see it this way. Did the N&R give the salaries of all their employees in comparison with the city's by any chance? I think not! I quite agree with you Anthony.

I don’t expect to ever have a ton of traffic, but it makes me happy to know that there’s a steady (though relatively small) number of people coming through. Of course, I feel bad for many of them, because according to my traffic counter, a lot of them are finding me through this post when they’re doing a search for “how much money does a fireman make”, and unfortunately for them, the post doesn’t actually answer that question.
