I've thought for a long time that having an org historian/librarian would make sense. Someone whose job is just to interview people in the org about what they are working on, what sorts of things they know about, any special things that person feels only the may know about ,etc. Then compiling that into something that is searchable but also acting as a resource to the org for "I know someone here has solved a problem like mine before but I do not have a way to find out who".

Most places I've worked have had people who are longer tenured fill this role unofficially but I think there would be value in having it be an official role.

Thanks. Having worked as an LVN before I was just curious if there were really LVNs out there making that much. $30/hr still seems high ime but I know it can very location dependent.

In what market are LVNs making $40/hr?

I don't think the statement that there are fewer people in poverty is true. Especially if you are counting numbers and not percentages. But going by percentage you can see on this chart [1] that we seem to be at levels similar to the mid-90s and that the current trend is upward. Specifically it seems like ages 18-64 in 2011 are fairly close to the highest rates since 1959 (when the chart starts). Another chart that doesn't separate by ages [2] seems to show that we haven't had significant drop in poverty since the 60s.
