The White House released its annual staff salary report late last Friday. Total 2012 payroll for 468 employees is $37,834,589.
When compared to the 2011 report, total staffers increased from 454 to 468 (a 3.08% increase), and total payroll in 2011 was $37,121,463. The number of employees in 2011 making $100,000 or more was 141 and in 2012 that number decreased to 139.

The highest paid employees make $172,200 per year while two employees have a salary of $0.
The average salary for 2012 is $80,843.14 and the median salary is $65,667.50.
