How to make Six figures
Work for Uncle Sam!
Federal workers earned an average $116,450 in 2007, which is more than double the $57,615 private sector average. The federal compensation advantage increased from 68 percent in 2000 to 102 percent today. Federal workers not only earn much more than private sector workers, their earnings advantage is getting more pronounced every year. Fed pay is up 150% since 1990 while private sector is up 88% in that time frame. Stripping out gold-plated benefits and pensions, the Fed civilian worker makes 71% more anyway.
Speaks for itself. Think of people and their skills who make 100K+ and then ask yourself, "That's the gov't we're paying for, why aren't we getting it?"
