一直以来，政府官员抱怨她/他们担任公职承受的压力与其获得的薪酬是不相称的。记得2003年夏天，担任布什政府新闻秘书的阿里·弗莱切(Ari Fleischer)，因在任上患病(癌症)，不得不辞去公职，转而去一家私企就职，以挣到足够的钱养家和治病。那么，联邦政府(此处指川普总统的白宫)高级雇员究竟一年能挣多少钱呢？其实，纳税人都有办法知道的。因为白宫会公布白宫雇员的薪资。如白宫2019年6月28日就公布了川普总统政府白宫雇员2019年的年薪表。因篇幅原因，下面展示的是领取最高年薪的部分白宫雇员。

我们可以发现，除了担任白宫办公厅主任负责战略和利益攸关者协作的高级顾问的Czwartacki, John S. (图 Google Images) 的年薪为$239,595.00，和担任代理白宫办公厅主任的Mulvaney (图 Google Images)，年薪为$203,500.00外， $183,000.00是川普总统最高等级顾问的年薪。同时，川普总统白宫共有24名工作人员2019年的年薪为最低的$43,600.00。当然，需要除去担任总统高级顾问的川普总统女儿Ivanka (图 Google Images) 和女婿Kushner (图 Google Images)，因为她/他们都是零薪工作。此外需要指出的是，担任代理白宫办公厅主任的约翰·穆尔瓦尼 (John M. Mulvaney) 已离职，现由马克·梅多斯 (Mark Meadows) 担任白宫办公厅主任 (图 Google Images)。约翰·博尔顿 (John Bolton) (图 Google Images) 辞去/被撤消总统国家安全事务助理一职，现在由罗伯特·奥布莱恩 (Robert O'Brien) 担任 (图 Google Images)。莎拉·桑德斯 (Sarah Sanders) (图 Google Images) 辞职后，她总统助理兼新闻秘书一职由凯莉·麦克纳尼 (Kayleigh McEnany) 接替 (图 Google Images)。而凯莉安妮·康威 (Kellyanne Conway) 也因家庭原因已辞去了总统助理兼高级顾问的职务 (图 Google Images)。
除白宫雇员外，政府其它部门雇员，包括各部部长，的年薪也是公开的。因为美国人事管理办公室 (The U.S. Office of Personnel Management) 会公布所有联邦政府雇员的相关消息。感兴趣的博友可上(https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/pay-leave/salaries-wages/)，选出想要了解的部门，即可。
