Survey: 2006 White House Salary List

The 2006 White House Salary List came to our attention through Sabina Pacifici’s beSpacific blog and writer Alexis Simendinger. “President Bush's most senior aides,” Simendinger writes, “the ones who hold the coveted title of ‘assistant to the president,’ recently received a $4,200 cost-of-living bump-up in compensation and now earn a top pay rate of $165,200, according to an internal White House list of staff salaries. The list [of 433 positions] was compiled by the administration for the year that ended June 30 and is displayed both alphabetically, and by dollar ranking."
