Equal Employment Opportunity

Across all employers in the United States, the median wage for Compliance Officers — about 417,070 people — is $80,730. Election Assistance Commission pays a median base salary of $167,902 for this role, 108% above that figure — above the 90th percentile of local pay for the occupation.

Median total compensation for this role at Election Assistance Commission is $168,402, which includes overtime and employer-paid benefits. The benchmark above excludes both, so total compensation is deliberately not compared against it.

Benchmark: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (May 2025). BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS) covers all employers in the area — private, non-profit, and government alike — so this is a comparison against the whole local labor market for the occupation, not against private-sector pay. OEWS wages are straight-time pay and exclude overtime, shift differentials, and employer-paid benefits, so the government figure shown here is base pay on the same basis. Total compensation is not comparable to it. Job titles are matched to the closest standard occupation, so the comparison is between similar work rather than an identical job classification.

Equal Employment Opportunity is held in 59 U.S. Federal Government (non-Defense) departments. In Election Assistance Commission, the median of $168,402 ranks #12 of 59.
