The BEA (Bureau of Economic Analysis) released its annual compensation figures last week. The Federal pay stretched further above private pay. The Figure from CATO http://www.cato-at-liberty.org/2009/08/31/wall-street-big-oil-and-federal-workers/ shows the 20 industries with the highest levels of average compensation, including wages and benefits. It also shows the average for all U.S. private industries and the average for the industry with the lowest compensation. Federal civilian workers have the seventh highest average compensation of 72 industries. Compensation in the federal civilian workforce is topped only by compensation in three finance-related and three energy-related industries.
