One thought on “Nearly 2,000 drug plants overdue for FDA checks after COVID delays, analysis finds

  1. That salary is ABSURDLY low. A basic QC auditor role at any of these plants pays minimum $80k and the quality managers are likely making $200k. why would anyone work for the FDA at that salary? FDA needs to be paying triple that rate to have any shot of attracting talent.
