One 16-year employee can't afford to live in the city on her current salary and works a second job on weekends to make ends meet.
Barbara Thompson has worked full time in administrative roles for Philadelphia’s public defender’s office for nearly 16 years.With an annual salary of $32,000, Thompson, 70, wakes up every day at 4 a.m. to catch a bus and then a train for the 90-minute commute from her home in New Castle, Del., to the Center City offices of the Defender Association of Philadelphia.
“The commute itself is tiring, but I’m a survivor and I’m a fighter, so I have to do what I have to do,” she said.
