Government Workers In St. Louis Raking In Big Bucks

It seems the place to work in government if you want to make big bucks is St. Louis. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports at least 21 city officials in St. Louis make more than $100,000 a year. The newspaper says itsstudy of pay records disclosed that only eight city workers earned that much a year ago. In March of 2000, only five made six figures. In St. Louis County, nine officials make more than $100,000. Most of the big pay raises come from a major reclassification of pay scales and job duties approved by the St. Louis Board of Alderman two yearsago.
