unions say the compensation gap reflects the increasingly high level of skill and education required for most federal jobs

I would say it is quite the opposite!

Has anyone on this forum ever dealt with a government employee that demonstrated this high level of skill and education?

They may require education for these jobs but it’s obvious that skill and knowledge aren’t necessary.

It takes tremendous skill and education to drive a golf cart and write out those complex parking tickets. That deserves a 90,000yr salary, don’t ya think? That’s what it pays in my town.
