Inflation of federal job titles raises payroll costs
The GAO reports many federal workers are overgraded in pay classifications, inflating payroll costs by about six percent since 1964. It cites inflated position descriptions, agency pressure to overgrade, and weak controls as causes, with average white collar grades rising to pay bands between 3,100 and 3,25 dollars monthly. Potential taxpayer costs are uncertain, though a 1971 OMB estimate tied each tenth of grade rise to 175 million dollars. The GAO urges presidential backing to reverse overclassification.
