據新發布的一項報告，美國白宮今年將拿出3712萬美元來支付454名工作人員的工資。美國政府內部收入懸殊，約30%的員工每年能拿到10萬到20萬美元，而有相當一部分員工的年薪還不到5萬美元。2011年美國白宮公務員的平均年收入為8.2萬美元，而上一年度的平均年薪為8.3萬美元。早在1995年，國會就要求白宮遞交白宮工作人員頭銜及薪水的報告。白宮薪水最高的工作人員包括白宮國土安全和反恐顧問布倫南、白宮發言人卡尼等。

The White House said on Friday it will pay $37,121,463 in salaries for 454 employees in 2011.

Three policy advisors have a salary of zero, while more than 20 make the highest pay grade: $172,200.

More than 30 percent earn between $100,000 and $200,000 a year while 154 take home less than $50,000, according to the 2011 annual report on White House staff.

The top dollar group includes John Brennan, Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterrorism; Press Secretary James Carney; William Daley, Chief of Staff; and Director of Speechwriting Jonathan Favreau.

The average White House salary in 2011 is about $82,000.

In 2010, the White House paid out $38,796,307 for 469 employees, an average of nearly $83,000 a year.

Since 1995 Congress has required the White House to deliver a report listing the salary and title of every employee.

The Administration has posted the report online each year that President Barack Obama has been in office, "consistent with President Obama's commitment to transparency," the 2011 report states.
