Spooks job satisfaction survey results released
The following post is by my colleague, Jonathan Landay:
The employees of the 16 U.S. intelligence agencies seem to be a happy lot. Except when it comes to their salaries.
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence today released the 2008 results of an annual "Employee Climate Survey." The survey found that U.S. Intelligence Community workers - of whom there are some 100,000 - rate their overall job satisfaction higher than their colleagues in other federal agencies. Seventy-three percent said they were satisfied with their jobs, five percent higher than other federal employees. The 2008 finding for the IC represented a one percent increase over the 2007 level.
IC workers also rated their supervisors, rewards for good performance and the uses of their talents higher than their colleagues elsewhere in the government, according to the ODNI.
But asked whether they considered their total compensation fair compared to similar jobs in the private sector, only 19 percent of IC employees responded positively. The ODNI report gave no figure for the federal government as a whole, nor what it was for the IC in 2007.

Isn't low pay one of the things that gave us Aldrich Ames and Robert Hanssen? Don't these people have to submit to financial disclosure and scrutiny as part of their jobs? If not they should.
