The impasse has had a devastating impact on TSA employees, who by Friday were expected to have missed $1bn in paychecks, the agency’s acting head, Ha Nguyen McNeill, told Congress this week.
A billion dollars for a monthly payroll? How does that math work out?
With ~65k agents that’s ~$15k per person. At 40 days without pay that works out to ~$140k per year per person. IDK enough to know if that’s reasonable. It’s plausible though. It’s not like it came out to $1m per person.
Their annual budget last year was 12 billion overall and the average salary is somewhere in the $50k range.
