TRENDING: Just how much can you make at the White House?
$40 million in total Salary with the top executive of the largest corporation in America making $400,000. All the good talent goes into private industry where salaries are easily 10 times and often 1,000 times this amount. And to make it even better there are far less hassles and far less scrutiny in private industry. We have the worse minds in the country running the country.
And for the knuckleheads who think with D's and R's instead of logic this applies unilaterally across all politicians.
(CNN) – Working at the White House includes long days, work on the weekends, and a demanding, high profile boss.
But just how good's the pay at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.?
According to a salary list released Thursday, 23 White House staffers make $172,000, while two "detailees" – Michael Harsh and Timothy Love – top the list at nearly $180,000. "Detailees" are employees from other government offices who have been assigned to work at the White House for a period of time.
The majority of President Obama's senior aides – including Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, and adviser David Axelrod make $172,000 a year – the same salary they made last year because the president ordered a freeze of top-level White House salaries.
But the majority of staffers make considerably less, with the average salary is $82,700 a year, while the median employee salary is $66,000. The lowest full time salary is just under $38,000 a year.
Obama himself earns $400,000.
In all, the White House employs 469 staff members for a total payroll of nearly $40 million.
