Item: Cd'A: Pay more than OK: Recent salary survey says city wages fall in 'competitive' category/Tom Hasslinger, Coeur d'Alene Press

More Info: When it comes to municipal pay scales, the city of Coeur d'Alene is competitive. When it comes to actual wages, Coeur d'Alene employees are earning more on average than their counterparts in many other towns. A salary survey recently done by BDPA Inc. shows that Coeur d'Alene employees right now are earning 11.5 percent more than their counterparts in 13 other municipalities, as well as the state of Idaho. But the survey also says that the pay scales the city offers are between 2.67 percent and 3.36 percent above the market.

Question: Would you swap your job for one from the city of Coeur d'Alene if you could?
