Information on Civilian Employee Pay
Jobs are placed in Job Grades
Jobs in the same grade have similar levels of complexity and scope of influence
Job grades have a pay minimum and maximum established by compensation comparisons in labor markets
Studies find that public sector pay is less than that of comparable private sector jobs
More robust benefits in the public sector narrow the public/private sector pay gap, but do not close it*
