发帖数: 29846 | 1 Newly hired federal workers are starting at much higher salaries than those
who did the same jobs in the past, a lift that has elevated the salaries of
scientists and custodians alike.
The pay hikes have made the federal government a go-to place for many young
people.
A 20- to 24-year-old auto mechanic started at an average of $46,427 this
year, up from $36,750 five years ago. The government hires about 400 full-
time auto mechanics a year.
A 30- to 34-year-old lawyer started at an average of $101,045 this year, up
from $79,177 five years ago. The government hires about 2,500 lawyers a year
. And a mechanical engineer, age 25 to 29, started at $63,675, up from $51,
746 in 2006. The government hires about 600 mechanical engineers a year.
Behind the boost: The government is classifying more new hires —
secretaries, mail clerks, chaplains, laundry workers, electrical engineers
and wildlife biologists — as taking more demanding versions of their jobs
and deserving more pay.
The higher pay also reflects the more challenging jobs federal workers often
do. The Bureau of Prisons' 1,250 cooks earn an average of $66,225 a year. "
They don't just cook meals. They're also correctional workers supervising
inmates," spokeswoman Traci Billingsley says.
Other findings in a USA TODAY analysis of federal workers' pay:
•Job security. Workers are holding on tightly to their federal jobs in
the weak economy. The rate of quitting has fallen 29% since 2007. Ordinary
retirements are down 11%. Early retirements are down two-thirds. Disability
departures have dropped one-third. Layoffs are increasingly rare, too. Under
the Obama administration, layoffs from reorganizations have dropped by two-
thirds to fewer than 300 a year in the 2.1 million person workforce. Workers
are 13 times more likely to die of natural causes than get laid off from
the federal government.
•$100,000. The portion of federal workers earning $100,000 or more
grew from 12% in 2006 to 22% in 2011. | x****o

美国政客很聪明。穷富两头抓。大多中产自以为是。人的本性是贪婪怕死。
穷人敢上街。大多数中产为房子孩子车子埋头被人剥削. 说实话，只有人民起来推翻
这个体制政府生产力才会进步
美国的伟大在于liberty自由，而不是政府。
再庞大的罗马帝国和成吉思汉日不落都免不了衰落，美国也不行。连下了地狱的本拉登
还在节节取胜，美帝能不自取灭亡吗？

穷人不会推翻政府，中产也不敢推翻政府。看看占领华尔街的现状就清楚了。
