White House proposes 1.4 percent pay raise
Jason Miller | Executive Editor | FederalNewsRadio
President Obama is proposing to give federal employees and military servicemen and women the same pay raise-1.4 percent-the lowest recommendation in almost 40 years
The President submitted his fiscal 2011 budget to Congress today detailing several proposals, including an entire section devoted to the federal workforce and data about everything from retirements to pay to education levels.
The 1.4 percent across the board pay raise is lower than the 2 percent civilian federal employee and 3.4 percent military men and women received in 2010, and down from 3.9 percent in 2009. The Congressional Research Service reported in 2006 every federal employee pay raise since 1970. The previous lowest amount was 2 percent in 1988. Congress still must agree to the President’s proposal, which history shows they rarely do. This year is one of the few times Congress agreed with the White House’s proposal.
“In 2009, full-time, year-round federal civilian employees earned on average 21 percent more than workers in the private sector, according to Current Population Survey data collected by the Census Bureau,” the White House states in the budget request. “However, a raw comparison of these numbers masks important differences in education levels of federal and private sector employees. About 20 percent of federal workers have a master’s degree, professional degree or doctorate versus only 13 percent in the private sector. A full 51 percent of federal employees have at least a college degree compared to 35 percent in the private sector.”

This is not something new. After the 90's Congress went on a rampage of COLA (cost of living) increases. They have approved several increases over the years since the 1990's which have increased the average pay of a Congressman to $175,000!! To make matters worse we as tax payers also pay for their health insurance for the rest of their lives after their retire (as part of their retirement). Last year they gave themselves a 2.2% boost. see : http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/09/04/politics/main571629.shtml

Regarding military retirees - The notation on the "statement of monthly income" received by this military retiree said, "There is no annual cost-of-living increase (COLA) this year. BY LAW, pensions issued by military services, VA, and social security will not increase this year because there was no increase in the Consumer Price Index." Maybe this law should be extended to Congress as well. I never new there was a LAW preventing COLA increases. Cost of living can go up, but we will not receive a raise because the consumer price index did not increase? I wonder when America will become a nation that America will want to rally to help out?

Of course Congress won't take a pay cut, that would make way too much sense. I too believe teachers, law enforcement, firefighters, etc should be paid more. As a military spouse for over 20 years now, I don't think 1.4% is enough of a raise. My husband deploys at the notice of a phone call or a tasking from headquarters, no one else but military does that. They are gone longer and more often than ever before from their families and still live beneath poverty income. Every time we move to yet another station, we go further into debt because we aren't compensated for all of the costs. In order to live in a safe neighborhood we have to pay more than the government pays, so we too feel the lack of funds and the heatbreak of seperations.

No I do not believe they should get a pay raise. My husband is a teacher in nevada and the school district is talking about another pay cut. And nevada has the lowest pay for teachers as it is. Teachers are just as vital and important as are military and goverment don't seem to care what happens to are nation. If children are not getting a good education. I feel really sad. What are own world is coming to. Help are own country. Not keep sending troops to other countrys and spending billions of dollars each day. That would help are country get out of the hole we are all in. We american now live in poverty and goverment don't care.

Military retirees (who already receive below poverty level retirement) did not receive a cost of living allowance raise this year. The reason given was the cost of living was down>????. I see no reason why anyone else should get a raise if the cost of living is down.
