Congressional Approval Seen for 10 Percent Civil Service Pay Rise
Congress appears set to approve a 10 per cent pay hike for about one million white collar and supervisory civil service workers. The Senate accepted the 10 per cent figure and added amendments after previously backing 7 per cent. If enacted, the increase would cost about 542 million dollars annually and cover classified civil service, congressional and judicial staff, Foreign Service, VA medical personnel, and TVA employees not paid by wage boards. Bottom grades would rise from 2690 to 2960 dollars annually, with top pay up to 17500 dollars.
