According to the tremendously successful hedge fund investor David Einhorn, in 2008, the average pay of federal civilian workers (with benefits) was $119,982. This compares to $59,909 for non-government workers. Furthermore, government workers can retire after 20 years on the job and receive retirement pay the rest of their lives (another 30 years?). Einhorn questions the sustainability of those entitlements and therefore believes the U.S. faces a Greece-like loss of confidence and funding—and sooner rather than later.

School board OKs staff reductions (The Enquirer February 20, 2010)

The Princeton school board Thursday night discussed the district’s plan to cut its budget and authorized Superintendent Gary Pack to cut $1 million in administrative wages and benefits by reducing staff.

Board members did not settle on who or how many staff would be affected. A salary freeze on administrators went into effect earlier this month.

The Wyoming school board Monday rejected a proposal that would have raised the base salaries of its teachers by 2.8 percent this school year and 3.3 percent for each of the next two school years. The raises would have been in addition to “step’ raises many teachers receive after passing various educational and longevity milestones.

The average step increase at Wyoming is 3.1 percent annually, officials said. The Wyoming Education Association in July rejected the board’s offer of a 2 percent annual raise, a $1,000 stipend and some health concessions. District Treasurer Brian Rabe said that proposal would necessitate a 6-mill levy proposal in 2012 while the union’s proposal would require 10 mills.”
