Wow.

I thought I would edit because I dont want to sound crass. That figure is surprising, but there is somewhere around 1.8 MILLION who dont (earn over $100k)... if you were to compare top professional and executive pay in most federal agencies to their civilian counterparts, it would be pale in comparison. The federal work force has pay caps...the civilian work force does not.

The bad wrap the feds contend with is the overpaid/underworked sterotype that the populous applies to everyone holding a federal badge. There are some that fit the bill, but the vast majority earn their money.
