Average federal wages soared during the 1990s and 2000s but have grown more slowly this decade. However, overall federal compensation including benefits has grown briskly in recent years, as I chart below.Here are highlights from theNYT story:Verla Bloomfield has the kind of workplace that seems plucked from a different era....
