Key reasons for the boom in six-figure salaries:

• Pay hikes. Then-president BUSH recommended — and Congress approved — across-the-board raises of 3% in January 2008 and 3.9% in January 2009. President OBAMA has recommended 2% pay raises in January 2010, the SMALLEST since 1975. Most federal workers also get longevity pay hikes — called steps — that average 1.5% per year.

•New pay system. Congress created a new National Security Pay Scale for the Defense Department to reward merit, in addition to the across-the-board increases. The merit raises, which started in January 2008, were larger than expected and rewarded high-ranking employees. In October, Congress voted to end the new pay scale by 2012.

• Paycaps eased. Many top civil servants are prohibited from making more than an agency's leader. But if Congress lifts the boss' salary, others get raises, too. When the Federal Aviation Administration chief's salary rose, nearly 1,700 employees' had their salaries lifted above $170,000, too.
