Summary:

Outlines two basic approaches to comparing compensation in the Federal and private-sector workforces, specifically the human capital approach and the jobs analysis approach. Examines recent studies comparing Federal and private sector compensation, including studies by CBO, President's Pay Agent, Heritage Foundation, American Enterprise Institute, and Cato Institute. Explains why recent studies have arrived at different conclusions, and discusses limitations of approaches employed in the different studies.
