The highest salary was $367,916 in 2019.
A report from members of the Federal Salary Council published on May 2, 2019, argued the pay structures within the U.S. government are skewed and federal workers are overpaid.
Downsizing the Federal Government, a project advocating for smaller government in the face of rising deficits, argued the more than 2 million federal employees earned on average $30,000 more than private-sector employees in similar fields and have more generous benefit packages.
