Government Expansion

The federal sector is growing at its fastest pace in decades. Over the past two years total federal civil service employment has increased 10%, an additional 182,629 workers. Jobs are available nationwide and overseas and additional growth is projected due to recent legislation. 

The new health care legislation calls for the formation of 150 new regulatory agencies and commissions and many more federal regulators are needed to manage failed banks and the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) funds.

The federal government now owns 60% of General Motors, all of Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac plus they took over 100% of the student loan program recently! There are many more jobs projected and those who start the process early will have a better chance of success.

   

 

General Schedule Salary Chart

 
 

Resume Service

Use for reference only. All General Schedule (GS) government employees in the U.S. make more than the base rate pay with locality.  Locality pay rates for all areas are listed on this site. For those not in a specific locality area use the table titled "Rest of U.S." Pay varies per locality area. Look up the locality tables for your metropolitan area to determine the actual salary for any given area. Wage rate tables for all major metropolitan areas are located at http://www.cpms.osd.mil/wage.

Note: Locality Pay – No Increase for 2012. The President’s pay agent reported that in accordance with current methods, the (ECI) wage and salary component, private industry workers, increased by 1.6 percent. Therefore, the January 2012 general increase, if permissible and granted, would be 1.1 percent (1.6 percent minus 0.5 percentage points).  We note that under recent legislation imposing a freeze on Federal pay increases in 2012 these rates cannot be adopted.
