The salary hike for the federal civilian workforce of close to 2.2 million people is the heftiest since a 9.1 percent average raise in 1980. It’s 0.6 percentage points higher than last year’s increase, which itself was the highest in two decades, and will take effect in the first full pay period of 2024, starting Jan. 14 for most federal employees.
So I guess it’s historically the second highest amount?

Yeah. Not very historic when inflation surpasses it. Better than nothing though!
Federal Employees at least stay close to the interest increase. Most people get zero increase year after year.
