government salaries
State employee compensation
Government salaries are the wages paid to public-sector employees—from teachers and postal workers to legislators and military personnel.
These figures are often matters of public record, subject to scrutiny and debate: Government salaries haven't kept pace with the private sector.
The term frequently appears in discussions of budgets, transparency, and whether public servants are fairly compensated.
