What White House Staffers Get Paid
The White House has released its annual report on staff salaries, and not surprisingly, they're not much different than they were last year, because President Obama put a freeze on top officials' pay.
The biggest earners, Ed O'Keefe reports, take home nearly $180,000 a year. About two dozen senior aides, including Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, make $172,200. But there are plenty of folks at the lower levels, too: assistants and secretaries make between $40,000 and $60,000.
Another interesting note: the White House employs 17 fewer people than last year.
Update, 3:54 p.m.: Emily Long has more details on the salary data release.
