Hmmm, interesting. Where I work nobody makes that kind of money. Most of us are GS-4 and 5's and the supervisors GS-7. Check the general schedule and see what we make...A little over 30k is dead-on target for me. The manager over everybody is the only one in my shop who falls anywhere around your figure, and the SES folks of course.

Averages can be misleading. If you stick one hand in boiling water and the other hand in freezing water on average you would be comfortable.

This is typical - the use of outdated/selective information is frequently used to support a position when convenient. Another instance is when 10 year old figures are used to report on the diversity in the government workforce. The workforce at my agency does not come close to the figures I last saw on the subject...

That maybe for officers but not technicians. The general schedule shows the highest salary a GS-7, at a Step 10 can possibly earn after 25 years of service is $44,395.

Do their figure include benefits such as government share of social security, government matching share of FERS, government share of insurance, etc. I would venture to say they do; which adds about 35% to the employees annual salary.

The salary figures are for base salary plus locality pay, if any. They do not include benefits such as matching share of FERS, etc. As the article points out, the average salary in DC is about $78,000 and there are more federal employees in the DC area than anywhere else so the average salary figures for federal employees are quite high.

We have GS-11 HR Specialists, GS-12 Lead Specialists and GS/GM-13 Supervisory HR Specialists. Taking into account all of our HR Specialist GS-11 through GS-13, the average salary (at Step 5) is only $48,148.44. I am assuming that all the figures were set at Step 10?

My wife is a GS-6 Step 10 and hasn't cleared the $40K per year mark yet. The majority of Government workers I have seen have been in the GS 5-7 range. I think that $60K per year isn't the norm within the Federal Government pay rates.
