The taxpayer funded gentry in the Washington DC area lives high on the hog. Government salaries for most professionals (term used loosely) fall in the GS 13-15 range:
13
$72,108 -- $93,742
14
$85,210 -- $110,775
15
$100,231 -- $130,305
Complete salary tables are available on www.opm.gov in case you're curious about federal pay scales in other areas of the country. Benefits for federal employees are second to none and job security is almost absolute.

Thanks for that link. Wonder how many government employee actually work in the greater DC area. Bet it's in the hundreds of thousands.

Federal employees also get "Locality Pay" on top of their regular salary and an "Overseas Differential" if they work abroad, plus other pay differentials (e.g., night pay, weekend pay, height pay, etc.).
More bad news: many gov workers get high salaries and do poor work. If you lower gov salaries, you get even less service out of them.
