Commenter Yikes Proves Bob Wrong

This comment is so awesome I just have to promote it from comment to post.  Way to go Yikes!  Yikes wrote a response to the following statement from Bob on columbuzz "25 years ago the job paid $8000.  500% increase in wages in 25 years?  What other jobs have done that?":

"Some interesting data about Bob's never ending claim that Fred Barkes' salary is somehow unusual and too high:

Check out the table at the bottom of the Social Security Administration's "National Average Wage Index" at http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/COLA/AWI.html

National average wages:

1984 - $8,067 (this is the national average of $16,135 divided by 2, since at that time the position only required about 20 hours per week)

2009 - $40,934 (this is almost an exact match to the Trustee's current salary)

Now, is it just me or don't those two numbers prove that the Trustee hasn't seen the outrageous pay increases that Bob claims and that Bob is trying to trick people?

Bob, that is what you call actual PROOF."
