There were several years where they got 0 or 1% increases. This is just allowing feds to barely catch up.

Thanks Obama!

However industry is poaching like crazy right now. GS 14s are being given $220-250 offers. At some point we will not have the people to do the work and as a regulatory authority, that’s going to significantly impact the economy.

I know right. GS 13 here. If this increase goes through next year my salary will be 154K. Even if it gets knocked down to 4%, salary will be 152. Let’s go!!!

There's no reason for their salary to be this high. Govt - such an easy ride you have.


These posts are so exceptionally stupid.

And federal pay lags behind private sector.


So switch to private sector.


Why would you want sucky talent in the public sector? Not saying public sector employees should make the same as private, but a 20-25% gap for professional positions is too wide.


The professional staff gap between fed and private is much wider than 20-25%. That Said, admin staff typically outearn their private sector peers.

Stop.

All step increases do not happen every year nor are they guaranteed.
There have been years when salaries were frozen as well or increased by 1% this has ramifications.

I know quite a few people in private sector who get bonuses and raises every year, some even work at non-profits.
You don’t know enough people.
