Is the New Minimum Wage for Federal Employees $100,000?

Not quite, but a new study by OpenThe Books finds that the average pay exceeded $100,000 in 117 of 127 executive agencies and the White House. Not bad for government work.

In FY 2024, there were 31,450 federal employees who out-earned every governor of the 50 states. That includes the highest paid, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, who collects a $250,000 salary.

Nearly 70,000 federal employees make more than $200,000, or two and a half times the median household income.

Our advice to the head of the swamp: Donald Trump, keep draining.
