[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think we're"underpaid", but we are "paid less" than equivalent jobs in the private sector. Teacher salaries don't compare to those of Chemical Engineers. That's based on supply and demand. However, I think we're paid fine given the hours of work. Per hour I probably make the same or more than others in my field. [/quote] I actually think that statement is only true for professional level jobs. I think admin level type jobs actually make more in government than in the private sector plus much more job security. The number of people making 6 figures in the Federal Government is pretty staggering. [/quote] More people are making higher GS salaries than in the past because feds have more education than in the past and more things are automated, so we have less (or no) admin staff. [/quote]
