Most "new/replacement" jobs have insidehigher ed lower wage with 20-30% reductions being the norm plus lower benefits, higher healthcare costs, and frequently as short/medium-term contracts. Perhaps there are some markets in the US that are doing fantastic, but I can't immediately identify any. Add to this that healthcare insidehigher ed premiums, housing/rent prices, and utility costs (which are highly dependent on fuel costs[*]) are increasing substantially (double digit inflation) all insidehigher ed of which translate to a work force that has a sharply-decreasing standard of life. I can't help compare my situation and those of my friends and co-workers to my dad's. He worked for the same company for 34 years, owned a home, put three kids through private schools and college on a "blue collar" salary. He retired at 60, with a pension, and while he and my mom aren't living the high life, or are financially "comfortable," they don't seem to have any complaints.
