You're generalizing. And you obviously have one hell of a chip on your shoulder. You seriously need some anger management help.

You seem to have a lot of statistics for someone who is
So, I think you've just blown your cover.

What statistics?
Can you cite your statistics that trailer parks are where criminals usually go? I work in the criminal justice system in an area where all of the municipalities have "zoned out" trailers and trailer parks, and the crime rate here is much higher than in the town I originally came from, which has a trailer park every mile, it seems. While property-oriented crimes are likely to take place in poorer neighborhoods, child molesters come from every walk of life. They are no more likely to be trailer dwellers than penthouse dwellers. The difference? The penthouse dwellers have the cash to keep it quiet. Kid yourself if it makes you feel safer, but your statistics prove nothing.

I don't doubt you, anyone knows statistics
can be manipulated to show anything you want them to.

There is proof in the statistics
Not long ago there was an article in Advance magazine about salaries. CMTs do make an average of, I believe it was, 20% more than a non-CMT. That's proof enough for me.

can check the statistics for you? *l*..nm

Statistics prove...
whatever you want them to prove. As one of my instructors quoted "there are lies, damn lies, and statistics." You've just seen statistics used to prove exactly opposite statements.

The statistics do not take into count sm
when you use ShortHand say to insert a normal, many characters, and you change a lot of them. In my opinion, most Expanders are about the same productivity-wise, just depends on how fine-tuned you have them to your particular dictators.

This is nothing new. This has been the way they count statistics for years. nm

according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics . . .
"According to US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), there were a total of 97,810 medical transcriptionists working in the US in May 2003, the latest period for which data was available."

Ah, but actual statistics and things like that

make it so less fun for them to WHINE AND WHINE!! Great post! There are some bitter MTs out there. Whew!

The fact is and statistics will prove sm
that the majority of employers do not compensate extra for a CMT. I currently work three jobs. NOT ONE of my jobs compensates me for my CMT, which will expire in 2007 and I will not be renewing it. There are two sides to every coin. Why is it that you feel you have to call people who don't agree with you a whiner. That's very immature and insulting.

another GREAT post and with statistics!! T.Y.

He's stating statistics and facts. You're LOL-ing
for lack of any facts, stats or intelligent statements. You are showing your ignorance and lack of education and class, as well as your resentment and jealousy of those who have successful lives because they got off their butts and did something - like go to college and control the direction fo their lives instead of blaming other people for everything.

Typical loser.

Facts and statistics from the Medical Records Institute

Medical Transcriptionists

Well above 90% female with an average age of 49

Most were on-the-job trained for years prior to the development of formal transcription curricula

Majority of new entrants receiving too little education and/or training

Retiring faster than qualified transcriptionists are entering the market

The vast majority resides in the US; however, increasing quantities of entrants are from offshore including
India , Pakistan , Philippines , the Caribbean , etc.

**snort** statistics, schmastics, what a bunch of bull

take a report you get the gross pay for and do a file/properties/statistics
get the total character count with spaces and divide by 65 I think 6.5 gross line will put a little over 8 cents per 65 character line with spaces.
Nobody (well hardly anybody) gives raises. If the work is easy, you know your account, you might not find greener pastures.

You could take on a part-time account instead of just quitting the one you have, sometimes that switch is a wrong move, anything to break the fall.

Also, MP Count is a free software for line counting and invoicing. Its on the MedPen website.

okay neatly correlated lies. and the trailer parks are really neat little hideaways the statistics
no excuse for not researching with google or even yahoo. my neighborhood is zoned to not allow trailer parks (ever wonder why???) thus my property if more valuable than another community that is not zoned against trailer parks. Now did you ever consider why communities would even think of having a zoning commission that would ban trailer parks. Community standards might come in to play and they don't want property values diminished. GOOGLE friend. The truth will set you free.
