I sure wish I could get compensated like all the other Federal Workers appartently do. I've been with the Federal Government for almost 20 years and I'm compensated less than half of what was quoted in the aritcle. Must be a different Agency than the one I work for.

If federal workers are making $111,000+ compared to the private workers' $55,000+, who is buying the new $400,000 - 500,000+ homes that seems to be the market price in many places -MD, western PA, NY, CA, IL???

That figure tells me that there are far more supervisors or department heads than workers. I've been with the agency for over 21 years (over 25 as a gov't employee), am stepped out and I'm nowhere close to the average figure of compensation. It must be nice!

I say bravo to as much money and compensation a federal employee can receive at their agency.
We do important work and is this not a 'get all you can society'? I am always amazed at the private section complaining about the amount of money/benefits a federal employee receives. Most of us are professionals and highly educated. We continue to do more with less.
Get over it!

What a generalization!!
I guess all the Congress, aides, politicos in DC are included as they must be the ones making this kind of money. As for myself, I am just a worker bee making much less than the "average" federal employee.
Private vs public?

The article states that fed pay has grown MUCH (emphasis mine) faster than private sector pay. I would like to see comparative stats on "other" public sector pay as well (schools, counties, state, etc). I recently heard several local news stories about teachers, police, and other government contracts being approved with pay increases of 4.5 to 5.0 percent for each of the next three years. The past three year average for "rest of U.S." under GS schedule was 2.63% The proposed general pay increase of 3.5 percent for 2008 doesn't look so sweet after all.

Just a few quick comments on the so called comparisons; I only wished the compensation that is reported was true! Why isn't our retirement high 3 calculated on total compensation rather than wages? I cannot understand how our executives comp even compare with executives in private industry. The CEO of Ford was given a 28 Million dollar bonus after three months! Yes, the answers are already known, the truth is not sought and one can make statistics prove any position.
