Federal employees get a pay raise.

Don't worry, I am sure this pay raise for Federal employees will trickle down to everyone else.

1. Link? How much?

I say good for them, most Fed employees are underpaid as it is, have had measly raise for the last couple years, live in perpetual fear their program will be cut by the pols flavor of the month way to "save money". There are many problems with government, pay to line workers isn't one of them.

2. Agreed - good for them

Would like to see a link, though - just to ascertain whether it's *all* Fed employees or not.

President Bush issued an executive order Thursday evening formally implementing a 3.5 percent average pay raise in 2005 for General Schedule employees.
