Re: State of Nevada Employment Opportunity

there is nothing odd about any of this.
NYC makes quite a bit of money charging to take civil service exams for
which there may not be a job opportunity for as much as 4 years, if any.
And potential applicants who are finally chosen have to pay for the
investigation which can take up to 3 months before they can be hired.
And union contract percentages usually dictate the salary for each title
and level so these are calculated to the penny - some rip off shopping
channels like QVC also charge to the penney for their junk.

I visited the webpage above and saw the following salary information:
$54,204.48 to $81,139.68

I don't dispute it is good or poor salary, but the precision is
wondering me!

Not all that uncommon, especially for government entities (gotta account
for "every penny").

What I found somewhat odd is the requirement that the successful
applicant has to pay for the mandatory criminal background check and
fingerprinting.
