$28k/yr is overpaid? Because that's what a grunt in the military makes.

28K as a grunt sent to afghanistan/iraq? A danish grunt get around 82K a year for that.
That's the base salary E-4 with 4 years service makes, this does not include any benefits, allowances, or bonuses.

I found out from my friend who's a federal worker that they do get step increases. So there's not really a pay freeze unless you're at the top step of your pay grade.
Total yearly compensation for an E-4 is around $40k a year.
Then you also have to add on top of that the GI Bill, as well as some states that waive tuition and fees for vets that have already used their GI bill.
Military people have a "low" base salary, but get tons of benefits and other "pay" that aren't taxable.
Yea, I get about 36k after taxes (I live in one of the highest areas for BAH though).
Based on the salary ranges for Denmark, I would say only a senior officer would be receiving a salary of that amount.

Personally, I like the idea that that miniscule pay raise will be put right back into the economy vs. the hoarding the rich are into as they compete with each other ala "King of The Hill".
Yes, they already make too much for doing little to nothing. If any of these asshats performed similarly in the private sector they would all be fired.
That link honestly looks like utter rubbish. My GF working parttime in a daycare is supposed to almost earn the same as a full time software engineer? I dont think so
A software developer for under 85K$ is considered low payed. A Sr. one would rarely go for below 125K$
I guess you also tried check what their survey is based on? Sr. software developer for 10K$? The amount of weeks is also wrong since you got 6 weeks. Dont use that site again
Here is the pay for service people:

Monthly and in DKK.
Yet when you consider the 50% tax on their salary, they're not making more than their US counterparts.
You have much to learn about danish tax I can hear.
And yes, they do make more. No need to pay for healthcare, education and such either.
Unless google's translator is incorrect every pay grade mentioned a 50% tax.
Nor do the members of the US forces.
It's wrong for workers to not have their salaries go down every year due to inflation?
I went 4 years without a raise due to the economy, and one of those years wound up being a pay cut. The home values in the greater DC area are one of the few places in the country where they're rising - and they're already some of the highest in the country. The fed workers also get to retire after 30 years with a nice pension while the private sector stiffs have to work until their late 60s to help finance the public sector.
Cry me a river if I'm not sympathetic to the plight of the poor federal worker.
While that is true, they aren't a yearly thing after the first three years.
Step increases happen each year for the first 3 increases. Every two years for the next three. Then every three for the last three. Depending on GS, its roughly $1000, $2000, or $3000 each step increase. It takes 18 years to go from step 1 to step 10. Most people get promoted to a higher GS before they come close to hitting step 10.
Ah, not bad. I was worried it'd be something crazy, like 5% past inflation, or more.Yep, 0.5% raise after a three year pay freeze. Why that's only 6.5% below inflation for the period! They be livin' large!
How does that work as far as taxes go then?It's funny considering there is tons of real world business experience showing CEO's that take a $1 paycheck temporarly when the company is in need of financial help.
Needless to say, I think we can say that our country is in that situation as well. What could be earned respect is just me nodding with the eyes rolled back into my head saying "Not surprised". People defending this action? Head in the ass, and ass in the sand.
Can that include all the bribes they take in from lobbyists and special interests? I'm sorry, not bribes. "Donations."Congress should give back about 1/2 of their money because they aren't worth a dime. As for Biden, same. For general federal workers though, this is peanuts of a raise compared to the private sector. Other than Congress and Biden, 404 - pissed off not found.
And around 1/4th of the pay from service people abroad if free of tax.
