Wonder how much a “Metro North ticket collector in New York City” pays. That’s the job Mr. Greeney got according to the article.

EXCERPT:
The Empire Center’s press release offered up some good tidbits. In the $150,000-and-over club were 11 LIRR car repairmen who nearly tripled their base salary through overtime shifts. Others included:
65 Long Island Railroad and Metro-North Railroad conductors who averaged $86,837 over their base salaries which averaged $75,970;
53 Bridge & Tunnel Sergeants and Lieutenants who averaged $94,962 over the average base pay of $82,594;
34 Long Island and Metro-North Railroad engineers who averaged $89,109 over their $77,953;
28 MTA police officers; and
23 Long Island Railroad gang foremen averaging $81,718 over their base pay rate $82,249.

I would have to say that an MTA Ticket Collector’s salary is not bad ( It’s a Unionized position ).
