What shapes mining engineering pay
Federal pay depends mostly on grade and step, plus a locality adjustment for where the job is located; see the GS pay scale explainer.

The median moved +1.3% from $115,513 in September 2025 to $117,025 in September 2026. Headcount went from 57 to 47 (−17.5%). A change in the median reflects both pay adjustments and who joined or left the workforce, so it is not the same as a pay raise.
