Here are the actual pay raises federal employees will see in 2023, depending on their location

President Joe Biden signed an executive order on Dec. 23 to make the average 4.6% federal pay raise official for civilian employees. But the exact raise you get depends on where you work.

"Despite the fact that federal agencies are still operating without a full budget, Biden’s order cements the pay raise for 2024. Unless Congress quibbles with Biden’s figure in another CR or in the Financial Services and General Government bill, the pay raise defers to the President’s authority."

Federal employees cleared for 5.2% pay raise in 2024

It’s the largest base pay increase since the Carter administration nearly 40 years ago.

Meanwhile, social security recipients will get a 3.2% cost of living adjustment in 2024 while the costs of food, shelter and energy have skyrocketed.

Biden sure is good at spending other people's money. The bloated fed balloons further.

Social security recipients should have gotten the same increase

Exactly

 

[Harpy Eagle]

The House had the chance to change this and punted it back to the White House.

As the husband of a Fed Employee all I can say is "whoopie!

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Social security recipients should have gotten the same increase

Congress sets that rate, not the POTUS.

More worthless waste.

Thanks, I agree! Please write your congress members and make this happen next year

I would like to see an across-the-board hiring freeze at the fed, letting attrition shrink the fed in a tolerable, painless way.

A 10% across-the-board cut would be more desirable, but that would not be politically viable.

My limited experience dealing with the fed indicates that they are bloated, slow, and provide sub-par services.

Long overdue to trim the fat.

Biden fails to realize that the fed produces very little - it is generally a burdensome overhead function which drains funds from private businesses which actually produce things.

The Republicans often talk about limiting Big Government, I doubt they will stop this in an election year.

It is too late to stop it, they had their chance and punted, which is why Biden had to use an EO

We just gave our teachers a 6.9 percent raise. We win.

So, no agencies would be given a pass on this? The VA my wife works at is sitting at about 68% of the staffing goals for nurses.

I don't get my retired military pay because I receive VA disability pay.

But they're all vaxxed, right? Because it was take the shot or lose your job, right? What are their pronouns, because, you know, priorities, right?

Social security recipients should have gotten the same increase

They deserve it more than government workers.
