[kristinaemtb]

i have 2 jobs because emt in west virginia get paid $6.25 where I live.I have been curious how much they make in other states if you dont mind telling.I know the cost of living can play a factor but cum on..medics make $7.50.we both deserve more for what we all do

[PRPGfirerescuetech]

Basics 12-20

Medics 16-25

Avg 30k basics

Avg 40k medics

Eastern PA area

[strippel]

EMTs 9.50-15

Medics 13.50-20

Central PA, the cost of living is less than Eastern PA.

PCP Salary 16.25 - 18.21 (35.476-39.763/yr)

ICP Salary 17.03 - 19.36 (37.191-42.294/yr)

ACP Salary 19.42 - 22.51 (42.419-49.169/yr)

Keep in mind though that to attend PCP school it costs 10000$ and to attend ACP school costs 15000$.

Also these wages are without overtime and we are also in the middle of re-negotiating our contract for an additional 9-21%.

EMT school takes only slightly longer than training a new employee at Taco Bell.

And, unlike Taco Bell workers, there is no shortage of EMT's. In fact, there is a tremendous glut.

Why should they make any more?

Please quote information to support this. Easily the crappiest analogy youve made. This disappoints me.

And what does this have to do with the original post?

Even Oprah ( no, I don't normally watch!) had made the comment the other day that nationally, most EMT's make the pay scale of poverty level. Then displayed an EMT that was crying about how she could not feed her child...and how little she was making.

Sorry, a little mathematics of supply and demand ..look at the number of Registered Basic EMT's versus EMS services (for example). I know in my State alone, there are over 5,500 Basics and 200 services. Now, with 70% of the services are Advanced Level. So subtract that at least 1/2 of those, and see what the opportunities are. So yes the wage is usually minimum salary or free.. if they can find a job. Yes, in 16 more weeks there are another couple hundred................like rabbits.

I agree with Dust, pay is actually higher at Taco Bell and the class well, it might be as along if you go through an abbreviated course...

2004 Employee's = 167,000

http://info.jems.com/jems/2004resources/providers.html

EMT-B's = 490,649

Plus Taco Bell employee's get to wear that cool uniform and eat all the Taco Bell related food products they could want.

Is there really even a choice?

The correct answer is there isn't...Vote Taco Bell in 2008.

But ya, I can see Dust's analogy.
