To all,

I have read the most recent ASCP vacancy and wage survey.  What is going on?
Who is sending in these numbers?  I have been checking into new positions
myself and the offers which are currently out there are blowing the wage
listings away.  This is unfortunate since we, as histotechs, cannot look to
this most recent publication for support in asking present employers for
better compensation.  In actuality, our current employers can now use this
survey to say "Hey, according to this publication, you are right where you
are supposed to be, salary-wise."  In short, don't let the survey fool you.
Now is the time to better your lot in life, if you are willing to move on.
