That’s a ton of money! Especially for people who mostly work from home. Eliminating tens of thousands of positions at $80K a pop is a huge savings. You Feds really are out of touch. That is a huge amount of money for the average American in flyover country. Just wow.
Just wow that you don't think occupation, education, regional cost of living, and affordability of child care have anything to do with these stats.
I was a fed in the 90s. I reached GS-13 by late 20s. I left government service in part because I couldn't afford a house in the town where I lived along the metro line.
People who resent feds don't want anyone to have a better life than their own. They don't think feds are deserving, mostly because of anti-government beliefs. We know!
Everything plays badly in flyover country because the media thrives on outrage. That's not new either.
Also consider that premium undergrads just out of school are in that same $80K-$100K wage range. With very little work experience.
