The TRUTH!

The figures published by USAtoday may be fairly accurate. Along with the statement made about it including the CIC and Congress and all their staff, it has no lower paid employees, as they are all contractors. Look around, who do the admin assistants, facility, warehouse, mail room people work for? Looked good on paper when they contracted all those jobs, reduced the federal employee amount. The contractors actually cost more and give less benifits and job security to those they employ. The increase in the apparent average of federal employee pay seems to be an unintended consequence of reducing the OPM expense. Or was it? Unintended that is?

That too, but the Big Bucks are in DC and the administration not the Worker Bees!

Yea nnuut, that is true. But the contracting and treatment of some is not right IMHO. The DC types tip the scale big time but the lack of lower paid types in the ranks of feds tips it a little more.

I agree with you about the contractors and we are Top Heavy, but they seem to forget about all of the WGs and GSs that actually do the work.
