I actually looked around a little. That site Indeed is horrible. Did vertical scope buy it?
Huge variety of pay of course but I think more realistically 40-60 thousand.

They got their search order right. I googled a few other professions. They are always first. Basically if it has the word "salary" in it they are first. It seems a reliable average private and public included is in the neighborhood of 70k. Which seems reasonable.

50k with a public employee pension is still way better pay and benefits then most of us. And they still have the "Heros work here" posters up all over our downtown public building....

A veterinary tranquilizer called xylazine is infiltrating street drugs, deepening addiction, baffling law enforcement and causing wounds so severe that some result in amputation.

Worth every penny, IMHO.
Nice to see the good old trusty horse tranquilizers are making a strong comeback.Article is today's NYT:

I’ve had a parent working in this field for decades now. Front line counseling, various leadership roles, etc.. IMO, like nurses, like cops, like fireman, like teachers, etc., they deserve every cent and benefit they get. It is not an easy job. They are not doing it for the money. I can assure you of that. It takes a very unique personality to do the work well. You’re never really off. You see bad outcomes often, with people you’ve put your heart and soul into trying to help. You see the worst in people, families, etc..
Are there bad ones? Yup, just like any other job. The good ones though, deserve to make more money than the collective “us” IMO. To boil it down to its simplest terms, they are basically dealing with the shit the average person does not want to or can’t deal with. That’s why they’re dealing with it versus “us”… i.e. friends or family.

The average citizen, ya know the law abiding ones, have been forced to the curb with current laws…
The average law abiding citizen has been reduced to an onlooker or a criminal (should they take action to deal with it).
Laws have consequences…
Lack of enforcement has even more.

I know a few social workers. None of them work for an actual local or state government. Many of these jobs seem to be with private companies that contract the work. Two of the people I know work for religious based companies that do the work. $25/hr type pay. They don't have benefits equal to a state worker, medical, retirement etc.50k with a public employee pension is still way better pay and benefits then most of us.

Honestly, for most jobs the State of Washington pays well below private sector. The retirement is a huge perk in keeping employees. It does not really make up the difference.
I have looked for DNR jobs for a friend. Man, I don't know why anyone would work for DNR. A lot of jobs start out at less than you make at Sherwin Williams.
Some view working outside a huge perk offsetting the higher pay at an inside job, particularly one where you are literally talking about paint dry.
