President Obama Proposes1% Pay Hike To Troops, Federal Workers

This will be in the 2015 budget out next week.

The increases are consistent with the pay hikes civilians and troops received this year.

An administration official said the proposed civilian increase “reflects the tight budget constraints we continue to face, while also recognizing the critical role these civilian employees play in our country – doing everything from assuring the safety of our food and airways, to securing our borders, to providing health care to veterans, to searching for cures to diseases. It also recognizes the sacrifices they have already made through prior pay freezes, reductions in awards, and furloughs due to sequestration last year.”
