Congressman Gerry Connolly (D-VA), Ranking Member of the House Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, Information Technology, and Government Innovation, released the following statement after President Biden announced a 5.2 percent average pay raise for federal employees in 2024.
“Today’s announcement is great news. While not quite what Senator Schatz and I called for in our FAIR Act, a 5.2 percent average pay raise is the highest since the Carter Administration and will help us recruit and retain the federal workforce of tomorrow. I applaud President Biden and his Administration for recognizing and taking care of our nation’s greatest asset – our dedicated, patriotic federal employees.”
