One in four government workers makes $100K thanks to overtime | New York Post:
"One out of every four New York City government workers pulled in pay of more than $100,000 last year — thanks largely to overtime, according to a new study.
“New York City can be a hub of opportunity, and not just for aspiring Broadway stars. All sorts of city workers earn big bucks,” said Adam Andrzejewski, CEO of the government watchdog OpenTheBooks.com, which conducted the study.
About 37,000 of 295,455 full-time city workers receive a salary that tops $100,000.
But the number jumps to 76,166 when factoring in overtime and other extra pay, the group said.
The supplemental pay accounts for 12 percent of the workers’ total compensation, or more than three times the 3.5 percent rate in the private sector, according to the study.
Some career choices proved particularly lucrative.
Of the 775 school custodians, 694 cleared $100,000 or more.
And of those 694, 398 exceeded $150,000..."
