Let's just make it an even 23 bucks per hour and a 40 hour work week. That works out to $47,840 as the aveage salary of an executive secretary in Washington DC. Not $100,000. $47,840.

Looking through the list I see Elaine G pulled down $164,902. Never once heard a Northwest pilot say anything bad about her or her pay. She made a full $60,000 than the current Benefits Specialist does. She actually made more than most of the staff lawyers on the list below her. Why no uproar on her?
