Senators Proposing Spending Cut Package Won't Say If They'd Cut Wages of Federal Employees--Who Make an Average $123,049 in Annual Salary and Benefits
Four senators who say they want to cap federal spending over the next four years declined to say whether they would support cutting the wages of even a single federal employee, even though federal workers in 2009 made an average of $123,049 in salary and benefits, which is more than twice the average of $61,051 that workers made in the private sector, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis.
