Gentlemen :
As required by law (Georgia Laws, 1971, pp. 105, 106), the State Commission on Compensation does herewith file its annual report.
During the year, we lost the services of Dr. Willys R. Knight, Research Consultant, so our report will not contain the voluminous statistics contained in past reports. However, if there are any you require, we will be glad to furnish them.
Our comparison of salaries under our purview with those in industry, commerce, the private professions, Federal government, other states, local government and in other branches of Georgia state government indicates a need for a general increase. The specifics of these increases are as follows:
