Senior BA - 55$ hr

PSW - 35$ hr

Our priorities as a society are fucked up.

    I mean I see a number of factors that contribute to this that arent ridiculous.

    1. 4yr post secondary degree vs 1 yr post secondary degree. Cost and lost wages for the extra years means I’d expect most 4yr degrees to earn more than jobs without that requirement. Fix: eliminate university costs is a good first step. That’d reduce some of the burden of school/lost cost opportunity.

    2. That position is a senior role. The job posting sounds like the role is largely required to analyze and make decisions for the company. The PSW role doesn’t generally have a lot of decisions to be made. Generally, the more decisions and responsibility a role needs, the more it should pay.

    3. The position requires a professional accounting designation, unlike the PSW role which doesn’t require any. This represents additional standards and requirements they needed to meet and maintain.

    A better example is a senior RN vs the senior BA, which are both paid similarly (See ONA agreements which show $50/hr for 5-yr experience RN).
