Thousands on New York payroll make below ‘living wage’

The New York Post reports:

State workers may be better off flipping burgers.

Gov. Cuomo, who is pushing to raise the minimum wage for fast-food workers, oversees a government work force in which more than 15,000 employees make less than a $15-an-hour “living wage,” a Post review of payroll records reveals.

Some workers make as a little as $8.75 per hour, the minimum wage currently set by the state, records kept by Comptroller Tom DiNapoli’s office show.

Among them were some aides at the Parks Department, as well as cleaner trainees at facilities for the developmentally disabled.

Student interns at agencies typically were paid between minimum wage and $10 per hour.

The hypocrisy of Blue America.
