Federal Workers: Are You Feeling Overpaid?

So much for pay comparability.  Federal workers are on top of the heap, compensated twice as much as their private sector colleagues. 

That’s what Karen Rutzick’s article on GovExec.com claims.  Chris Edwards’ report repeats the theme. 

Per the U.S. Commerce Department, the average fed’s overall compensation is twice that of the average private sector bloke.

Check out the article, the “average” six-figure compensation for federal workers, and then let’s talk.  [Do you notice any holes in these analyses, any apples-and-pomegranates comparisons?]

We’d love to hear what you’ve got to say.
