I reserve the right to delete comments that are profane, off topic, ad hominem, or spam."<br /><br />I also like how in today's posting you scolding Glen Reynolds and Mickey Kaus for not mentioning the Cost of Living Adjustments for federal workers. <br /><br />I apologize if I was off by less than 1% in my off-the-top-of-my-head statement of what the rate is for a GS-15. I didn't get into the COLAs since one can bend them any way they want.<br /><br />As someone who works for the DoD I can assure you that I am FAR below that level. Their salary amount is not something I think of daily. I'd also like to add that a GS-15 in my branch of the DoD is the highest ranking civilian in our organization. He's comparable to a VP of a Construction Contractor that places over a billion dollars in construction a year. $147k/yr (with COLA added in) for someone at this level is virtually unattainable in the private sector.<br /><br />So I got a clue.

All U.S. locations (including Hawaii and Alaska) receive additional pay adjustments above the base pay ranging from 14.16% to 35.15%." do you not understand?<br /><br />And you're a deceptive ass to boot. "A GS15-10 is the highest rate and that is about $120,000 a year." No, the base is exactly: $483 dollars shy of $130k. Add <strong>at least</strong> an additional 14% and you're north of $147k.<br /><br />Dude, get a clue!dsmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01501964533388756254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8276040368928521439.post-84670036088229073982010-11-10T12:32:38.197-06:002010-11-10T12:32:38.197-06:00This article is complete bunk.

It also fails to mention that around %95 of all federal employees are under the GS pay scale. Google "GS Pay Scale" and you can view the rates there. A GS15-10 is the highest rate and that is about $120,000 a year. The article is complete hype devoid of any real information.chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13431351057690644524noreply@blogger.com
