What shapes financial analysis pay

The most common grade with published pay is GS-13 (287 employees, median $133,964).

Among states with at least 30 full-time employees with published pay, the median is highest in New York ($251,758) and lowest in Georgia ($127,564), 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.
