🇺🇸 In honor of those who gave everything in service to this nation — FedSmith observes Memorial Day with gratitude. 🇺🇸
A new CBO report found that total compensation of federal employees is 5% higher on average than their private sector counterparts.
The average federal salary now tops $100,000—not including the 5.25% average pay raise in 2024. Most federal employees are now in a locality pay area.
A 2023 locality pay report recommends changes that would increase pay for about 16,000 federal employees if adopted.
