The trouble with archaeology, is that it is run by people who have a vested interest in the status quo. Company directors make a lot by paying archaeologists as a Labourers rate and charging clients at a proffesionals rate for their services. Is this likely to change? Job losses have been primarily from the lower levels of the profession, when the recession is over and jobs start to come in again, it seems likely that the people at the top wil still be at the top and will continue as before.
The IFA provides a handy means for companies to set wages, but as the upper ranks of the IFA are populated by company owners I think little will change.
