What shapes management and program analysis pay

The most common grade with published pay is GS-13 (19,961 employees, median $133,964). The largest employer of this series with published pay is the Department of Homeland Security (8,639 employees). Among states with at least 30 full-time employees with published pay, the median is highest in District of Columbia ($150,203) and lowest in North Dakota ($74,374), a gap that partly reflects locality pay differences. Federal pay depends mostly on grade and step, plus a locality adjustment for where the job is located; see the GS pay scale explainer.

OPM withheld pay for 43% of employees in this series. The figures here describe only employees with published pay; withholding is concentrated in certain agencies (see data coverage).
