A federal organization's budget covers the cost of office space, employee benefits, computer equipment, office supplies such as pens and paper, as well as wages. Our $3.4-million budget allows us to hire employees at different levels. The members of my team range from AS-1 analysts all the way up to executives, including my position, and the levels of pay vary as well. The $3.4-million budget is broken down as follows: approximately $2.4 million is spent on wages, and goods and services, and about $1 million is spent on other costs such as benefits, pensions, and office space.
