Employers pay a substantial amount more than salaries for their employees. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics states that the average employee compensation averaged $30.07 per hour for March 2011. In addition to compensation, employers pay for benefits, along with local, state and federal taxes.
antiquary. n, pl-quaries. 1. (Antiques) a person who collects, deals in, or studies antiques, ancient works of art, or ancient times.
Similarly, antiquarianism has always had strong links with the study of local history. Some of the earliest antiquaries were topographers such as John Leland or William Camden who realised that the landscape could offer important clues about the history of the people who had once inhabited that place.
