Salaries for all staff positions at our museum are set by the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education. When we apply for grants, I've used the Occupational Employment Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor to develop project budgets that include independent contractors. Occupational categories are listed by state: http://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes_pa.htm
