When caught in a lie, you MAGA cultists move the goalposts.
But hardly anyone quotes the value of benefits when they mention salaries.
It isn't until a Fed employee gets a bachelor Degree that his basic wage drops below that of the private sector.
I guess the piKter was too much for you to comprehend. Those shaded areas are tricky, right? As for BS, who you gonna believe? The CBO or these guys(your link)?
"Federal employees in 2024 on average earned 24.72% less than their counterparts in similar private sector jobs, according to a new report from the Federal Salary Council that is based on Bureau of Labor Statistics data.
The council, which is composed of presidentially appointed federal human resources experts and public union representatives, advises on issues related to government employee compensation. Doreen Greenwald, the national president of the National Treasury Employees Union and a council member, argued the data shows agencies need to provide higher salaries.
“It is a loss to our country when highly qualified professionals turn away from critical public service jobs because the paychecks can’t keep up with for-profit corporations,” Greenwald said in a statement. “We call on Congress and the White House to make sure federal salaries don’t lose ground in 2025.”
This year’s pay disparity is a slight improvement from 2023 when the council reported a 27.54% difference. NTEU attributed the improvement to the average 5.2% pay raise that federal employees received in 2024, which was the largest increase in more than 40 years."
And yes, people are VERY concerned about benefits....so that would be yet another lie from you.

In fact, 41% of Indeed job postings in May 20242 highlighted employee benefits as a key feature. And, as the demand for quality benefits continues to rise, employers who fail to adapt may risk falling behind or losing talent. |
