Well if that’s the average pay, then more than half federal government employees are working at a GS13 or higher.....which is total BS. Something doesn’t sound right here.
It sounds accurate. There are a lot of jobs with bonus’s and special pay categories.
We were looking at pay grades since our son is interviewing for a GS position. It sounds like he will start at nearly 80k..he does have a Phd.
Same situation in CA. Most govt jobs pay far more than civilian. If you add in the retirement benefits and health care..it is even wider difference. Plus..they are hiring and the private sector isn’t.
At some point we taxpayers aren’t going to be able to support all these parasites.
I walk with a group who are all retired CA govt types. They all retired at 55 with 100% pay and health care.
All guaranteed by the taxpayer. Now that CALPERS has lost a lot, the contributions from the Cities and State must go up, meaning even more of our taxes going to retirement rather than current projects.
