[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The way the "feds" reply on this listserv make me cringe. They sound so entitled and self righteous. They don't need to explain to anyone what they do, but making $225K is totally OK. Median [b]household[/b] income in 2014 was $51,939. That includes double income households.

I'm not saying everyone has to make $52K or even twice that $104K, I'm saying that more than 50% of Americans are paying taxes based on salaries of $52k...[/quote]

I am not a fad, but there are skills that would command much higher salaries in the private sector. I know the young people from Google, Amazon....at USDS actually took a big pay cut to work in fed IT. [/quote]

This is a myth. The vast majority of fed employees are not employable at their same rate in the private sector. A sizeable minority (small majority?) are completely unemployable outside of govt work. [/quote]

It is true for lawyers, doctors, and scientists.  Most of them could make substantially more in the private sector.  It is also true that federal "unskilled workers" are likely making more than they would in the private sector.[/quote]
