Federal workers earning double their private counterparts

"At a time when workers' pay and benefits have
stagnated, federal employees' average compensation has grown to more
than double what private sector workers earn, a USA TODAY analysis
finds.

Federal workers have been awarded bigger average
pay and benefit increases than private employees for nine years in a
row. The compensation gap between federal and private workers has
doubled in the past decade.

Federal civil servants earned average pay and
benefits of $123,049 in 2009 while private workers made $61,051 in total
compensation, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis. The data
are the latest available.

The federal compensation advantage has grown from $30,415 in 2000 to $61,998 last year."
