The lower raise for inflation is enough............It was in articles..............and that is what it said...........and under their website it was 3 million workers.......and a added 25 Billion in Localization increases.
25 billion in Localization increases? There are 2 million Fed Employees, so that comes out to $12,500 per year raise for each one of them, just for Localization increases, if your number is correct. And if that is 2% of their salary that means that the average Fed Emp salary is roughly $625,000 a year.
Yeah, I think your 25 billion number is total bullshit.
25 Billion divided by 3 million is $8,333..........not $12,500...............
Since we don't have the data of every locality increase............hard to compute..........So..........the CBO and OPM........would have to give us that data......
I don't have it.......and I'm sure as hell not clicking on every county in the United States to figure out the %'s.........and even then you have to know the pay of every single employee.............
According to the OBM, there are 2,087,747 Fed non-military employees. I trust them over whatever article you get your number from.

We do not need to know the number for every locality, as the average does not care about that.
Averages are not hard to compute at all, I just did it for you.
Is it your claim that the average Fed Employee wage is more than $625,000 a year? A simple yes or no will suffice.
They make enough.
In 2014, the average federal employee salary was $84,153, approximately 50% more than the average private sector worker earned. This discrepancy increases to 78% when benefits are included. The average federal worker costs the government (aka taxpayers) $119,934.Dec 21, 2015
