Furloughed Federal Employees are Still Paid More Than You 91 Comments Tags Taxes and Spending 01/12/2019Ryan McMaken Whether its CNBC, or The New York Times, or NPR, the mainstream media is clearly committed to using the current partial government shutdown to portray federal workers as beleaguered victims of the American political system. But, in all cases I've encountered, these reports neglect to mention that on average, civilian federal workers make 17 percent more than similar workers in the private sector, according to a 2017-2018 report by the Congressional Budget Office. That's total compensation, so we're including both wages and benefits. Considering that a year is 52 weeks long, an average federal worker would need to be completely without any income for nearly 9 weeks in order to just be reduced to equal standing with a similar private-sector worker. (17 percent of 52 weeks is 8.84 weeks.) Source: Congressional Budget Office. As of this writing, the current shutdown has only lasted three weeks, which means all those furloughed workers profiled in national news stories are likely still coming out ahead of their private-sector colleagues. Moreover, given that both Trump and Congress have committed to pay furloughed workers back pay, it's a safe bet that federal workers will continue to enjoy a healthy advantage over private-sector workers when it comes to compensation. Health benefits for most federal workers will also continue without interruption through the shutdown, as noted by NPR. The Federal-Pay Advantage Is Larger for Lower-Income Employees The disparity between private-sector work and federal jobs is largest at the lower end of the education scale.

Who do these people poll? Do they walk around New York City or Los Angeles? How many people do they poll? Who checks and make sure that the people running the poll are documenting the accurate information? Sounds like a slow news day for liberals to get their pussy wet about Below is a link that begins to explain how each of the different polls is conducted. https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/pollster-ratings/ Each pollster takes a different approach based on circumstances that they can or can't control. Cost is one factor. Some pollsters only call cell phones, some only call landlines and some call both. Some polls use live interviews and some don't. Some polls weigh the results and adjust the outcome based on several factors. Pollsters give a lot of thought and effort to produce a valid poll. Their reputation is at stake and so is their funding. It's very complicated and takes a group with highly advanced math and statistic capabilities to crank out an accurate poll. I use two composite polls, one from 538 and one from RealClearPolitics. There are left-leaning and right-leaning polls in each but the average of both polls is pretty good. It's important to understand what a poll can and can't do. A poll is just an approximation of a snapshot in time. While fluctuations from day to day are normal, it's important to see and understand trends over time. The 4.5% drop in approval over the last month is significant but could be mainly because of the government shutdown. Once this is over, there could be a rebound. It's my opinion that there will come a time when his base starts to crack and it doesn't have to crack much for him to be toast. As for it being a slow news day. You've got to be freaking kidding. You need to watch MSNBC and CNN each for a full evening to learn just how freaking corrupt the president is. Why did Forrest Tump confiscate the interpretor's notes and instruct him not to tell anyone what he spoke to Putin about? And this was done each time they met. Suppose Obama had done this, you would have been apopletic. Try watching some real news covering the true major stories coming out of Washington D.C. instead of FOX covering the opening of a new Starbucks in Iowa. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
