Can You Get Rich in a State Government Job?

Here are the salaries. You decide.

A worker at McDonald's recently confronted the company's CEO in a public meeting, saying she hadn't gotten a raise at her $8.25-an-hour job in 10 years.

Many American workers are feeling the pain of an economy still struggling, Washington debating over how to pay its bills and high unemployment.

A nice, solid state government job might seem ideal for those who qualify.

If you've ever wondered what the top state jobs pay, The Baltimore Business Journal has compiled the salaries of the best-paid state workers, with many making more than $200,000 a year.

What do you think? How much should state employees make?
