Worst part is, I was making that 15 years ago and it was considered low then. Things have gotten way more expensive since then.

I don’t know how the young people are managing.

As a young person, I can confirm, we aren't managing. I worked at an agency that paid me hourly at $20/hr and when that position ended, I tried freelancing and set my rate at around $40/hr because I didn't think anyone would pay me a fair wage for my work and I desperately needed the work and even at $40/hr FREELANCING with no benefits, ive had clients essentially spit in my face and tell me thats ridiculously high. I've been out of consistent work for months and I have no idea what I'm going to do

because most in house editorial departments are perceived primarily as cost savings / profit centers, and they’re not really trying to hire freelancers with robust client bases

Hi All! Looking for some advice. I am a manager a country club but I do everything. I’m in charge of outside events and member events, in charge of the front of house staff, scheduling, ordering and membership sales for the club. I feel I am very underpaid at $45k. I do get commission but it’s very low ($10k give or take for the year). I work 6/7 days a week sometimes 10+ hrs/day. I’ve been researching salaries to be able to negotiate higher pay. I want to ask for $60k-is this reasonable?
