Reporting Page Rates Too High?

A fellow Deposition Reporters Association board member brought up the following interesting anecdotal evidence regarding the price of copier paper:

I performed this price comparison regarding the purchase of paper. Thought you might be interested in the numbers:

In 1998, I was paying $17.90 for a box of paper (10 reams)
In 2009, I am paying $33.28 for a box of paper (10 reams)

That's close to 100% increase over 10 years!

And then the next logical question is this: Have reporting page rates changed that drastically over the past 10 years?

Not in my wildest dreams. What are your thoughts?

Hi, I live in New York. I`m a freelance court reporter. I`m thinking of entering real time status. Right now I do hook up to a computer, but it`s just my computer. I have been changing my dictionary to fewer strokes so I can take on more speed. What is the going rate these days for real time reporters, if you know, in the New York area

Hi, Christine. Real time reporters typically get an extra $1.00 - $2.00 per page on top of their normal page rate.

I wish page rates had increased 100% in 11 years in Texas. It has taken over 35 years for page rates to increase 100%.
