Govt. wages, shocking!!
wis...@yahoo.com
percent greater than that of the average private sector employee�s
wages of $49,935.
� Pay growth in the public sector has been much higher than growth in
the private sector over the years, too. Between 2000 and 2008, wages
for federal civilian workers climbed by 53.7 percent, while wages in
the private sector went up 28.5 percent over the same time period.
Bonanza for the groids! American taxpayers screwed as usual.

And apparently there are 25,000 more of them now than there were in January.

This figure is a hair above the top step of GS-10, middle of GS-11 and
middish-lower GS-12, according to the Wikipedia article on "general
scale".
I once worked a Federal job at the then-existing Philadelphia Naval
Shipyard, and electrical engineers there mostly had to get promoted to
the lowest supervisory position to get to GS-12. I heard that somewhere
else in the Philadelphia metro area was a military base where civilian
electrical engineers typically got to GS-12 without being promoted to
supervisor.
Clerical federal employees are mostly GS-3 to GS-9 according to the Wiki
article.
Although Google provides a lot of links supporting a claim that average
Federal employee wage is $79,197, in light of what I know this sounds high
to me.

this is course long since unsustainable especially since many
civil servants
arrange to finagle their retirements at more than they made working
often way over
100k a year.. many cops at 140k.
its over 100% of some city budgets now... and getting worse fast.

Perhaps it includes overtime and benefits.
