Do you want a high paying job? The Feds are hiring and they pay an average of $71,000:
• Federal: $71,206 ***********************************
• State: $54,101 ***************************
• Private: $40,331 ********************
One in five federal employees make over $100,000 per year:
Federal employees making salaries of $100,000 or more jumped from 14% to 19% of civil servants during the recession’s first 18 months – and that’s before overtime pay and bonuses are counted.
For really high pay, check out the Department of Transportation:
When the recession started, the Transportation Department had only one person earning a salary of $170,000 or more. Eighteen months later, 1,690 employees had salaries above $170,000.
Are the Materials Management Service (MMS) and SEC bureaucrats, who failed to protects us from Bernie Madoff and BP, worth that much?

It’s hard for me to fathom 1,690 DOT employees getting paid that much. Total employment is about 53,000, so that’s ? 3% ?
$170,000 is higher than the top pay for GS-15.
It’s in the range for Senior Executive Service.
I’m guessing that most of these are Air Traffic Controllers ?

In early 2009 the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) was hiring utility executives to ramp up their industry initiatives. They certainly demanded and received SES level salaries because NREL needed people NOW to spend the windfall (before it disappears).
I believe this happened across the board as Executive Branch spending exploded and consultants were brought inside.
