Federal Salaries Restored By July 1, 1933
President Roosevelt outlined a plan to restore federal salaries to pre‑cut levels by July 1 as part of a broader effort to lift prices and living costs over the next eight months. He indicated price and value boosts would accompany the pay rise, with the cost of living rising enough to justify the increase while aiming to stabilize overall economic conditions. The salaries restoration hinges on a government-wide price level assessment by the Labor Department, affecting many federal workers and decentralized field services.
