The last time the federal pay gap was computed, in late 2020, the council reported a 23.1 percent gap. Some conservative and libertarian organizations have concluded that federal employees make more than private sector workers, while the Congressional Budget Office in 2017 found federal employees to be slightly ahead on average but behind among those with higher levels of education. The council this year calculated that employees working in the Washington-Baltimore area would be in line for one of the larger boosts. The American Federation of Government Employees called on that group to accept those recommendations, saying they would “put additional money into the hands of federal employees whose pay lags behind their coworkers.”GiftOutline Gift Article
