How Federal Employees Are Paid

Federal employees with Asian backgrounds were the highest paid people under the General Schedule. Blacks, American Indians and natives of Alaska and Hawaii were the lowest paid. The most recent figures from the Equal Opportunity Employment Commission showed average salaries correlated with race and ethnicity. On average, Asian employees earned about $53,000. The other groups were slightly below the average for all employees at about $43,000. In between were white and Latino employees, who averaged around $50,000.

Nothing to do with race. At all. The reason for the discrepancies are (I know many of you hate the truth and its often SO politically incorrect, but suck it up, boys) Asian families place great emphasis on math and science degrees (they PAY the most). The rest of us want English or History degrees and take the correspondingly lower paying (relatively speaking, AND as the statistics so pointedly assert) administrative, clerical, and "management" positions. Hate the truth if you want. Or tell your kids to pay attention in Algebra class. But DON'T blame EVERYTHING on "race" (although there is a lot of blame to pass around in that regard).
