Remarks by the President in Twitter Town Hall | The White House

"We froze federal pay for federal workers for two years. Now, that wasn't real popular, as you might imagine, among federal workers. On the other hand, we were able to do that precisely because we wanted to prevent layoffs, and we wanted to make sure that we sent a signal that everybody's going to have to make some sacrifices, including federal workers. By the way, people who work in the White House, they've had their pay frozen since I came in, our high-wage folks. So, they haven't had a raise in two and a half years, and that's appropriate because a lot of ordinary folks out there haven't either. In fact, they've had their pay cut in some cases."


Remarks by the President in Twitter Town Hall | The White House

The White House has released its annual salary report which clearly shows it pays to work at the White House - most staffers who have worked there for a year got a considerable salary bump.

Three-quarters of staff got pay raises from 2009 to 2010, whereas most companies skipped raises that year because of the economic crisis that the White House was busy failing to solve.

This time around, from 2010 to 2011, of the 270 White House staffers who have been there for more than a year, 54 per cent received raises.
The average salary increase was eight per cent.

Obama lies again and screws the military with a 1.4 percent raise while his staff gets an 8 percent raise and he lies and says he froze their pay since he has been in office.

if true, thats outrageous.
 
The average salary increase was well over twice the official government inflation rate.

Go figure.
 
But there wasn't a lot of belt-tightening for the rest of the staff: We crunched the numbers and found that, of the 344 White House employees who were listed on the payroll in both White House's 2009 and 2010 salary reports, 253—or 74%—got raises in 2010. And among that lucky overwhelming majority, the average raise was 9%. And plenty of people making more than $100,000 a year did get a raise as long as a title change came with it.

Indeed, not to mention seniors have not gotten a COLA increase for the past two years have they? Or was it one?
 
Obama is the most dishonest and deceptive president this country has ever had. It's amazing how anybody can support this man's reelection.

If Congress has it's way there will never be another cost of living raise for Seniors. Yep, it was two,, and then obie doodle played the hero and sent "some" seniors a check for $50.. wasn't he generous. he sure greased up the Unions asses though..
 
This White House is making more money than any other in History. This "Pay Freeze" thing is a joke. Yea,like Billionaire GE CEO and "Jobs Czar" Jeffrey Immelt cares about this? This is laughable.

Oh, I wouldn't go that far.... but honesty is not his strength, that's for sure. I'd put him in the top 5.... maybe top 3.
 
Go figure,getting a raise for a Job not well done? Socialism/Progressivism at its finest. Yikes!

yea I'd say that a good take but whenever a rep. does it, it gets a great deal more play it seems.
 
I'm sure they're all heart-broken. They're all only Millionaires & Billionaires in this Administration. Poor "Jobs Czar" Jeffrey Immelt. I hope he gets through this. :(

He heads Obama's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness and he asked his own employess to take a pay cut:

"Someone like Immelt, who has helped his company evade taxes on its huge profits -- and is now looking to workers to take major pay cuts after his compensation was doubled -- should not lead the administration’s effort to create jobs," he added.

BTW he is not on the WH list for pay, I wonder what they are paying him?
