President Joe Biden has given federal workers their biggest pay raise in more than 40 years even as many Americans are finding their salaries worth increasingly less as wages fail to keep up with Bidenflation.
Biden declared this giant pay raise on his own hook for more than two million government workers by issuing his Dec. 21 "Executive order on the adjustments of certain rates of pay," which affects the "The rates of basic pay or salaries of the statutory pay systems." As maintained in his fiscal 2024 budget proposal revealed last March, Biden has now implemented a 4.7 percent across-the-board hike in basic pay, according to the website Government Executive.
Up to 33,300 federal employees will also see a larger pay raise than expected because the Biden administration revamped its locality pay area map to adjust for the same high rate of inflation that Biden caused.
There are 53 locality pay areas across the country and each one is configured on the cost-of-living data specific to each zone, Government Executive added in a report in November.
The government worker pay raise goes into effect for the first full pay period of 2024, beginning on Jan. 14 for most government workers.
In the end, it will be the largest pay raise at one time for federal workers since the 1970s when President Jimmy Carter initiated a 9.1 percent average pay raise, according to Government Executive.
With all the pressures Americans are facing as Joe Biden's "Bidenomics" continue to oppress them from coast to coast, it is highly doubtful that the average American would think federal workers deserve this giant pay increase, while the rest of us suffer pay decreases.
