Government Wages Drive Officials to Exit Piles Up
Government will have to pay higher wages or provide social allowances to fill demanding posts as resignations mount. Howard Cofford and S Parker Gilbert quit the Treasury posts, citing inadequate pay and social costs in the capital. Many undersecretaries and assistants have left since Harding’s term began, with salaries as low as five to seven thousand dollars a year for high offices, prompting officials to seek better pay in private sectors. The epidemic of resignations threatens capable staff in key positions and creates instability amid shifting administrations.
