Yeah they really need food huh.

Crazy most are married couples easier to get into a FED Job $165,632.00 A year if not more per couple. These are the very polite people at the window you see when you go for help. (Rolling Eyes ) Stop. As of Jan 27, 2019, the average annual pay for a Federal Employee in Chula Vista, CA is $82,816 a year. While ZipRecruiter is seeing annual salaries as high as $133,470 and as low as $17,284, the majority of Federal Employee salaries currently range between $58,093 (25th percentile) to $110,425 (75th percentile) in Chula Vista, CA. The average pay range for a Federal Employee varies modestly (up to $52,332), which suggests there may be fewer opportunities for advancement based on skill level, but increased pay based on location and years of experience is still possible.

A lot of them DO need food.

For most people the majority of their income is designated for mortages or rent, utilities, car payments and other fixed items.   Most people don't have thousands socked away in savings.  In D.C. there were articles about food lines around the block of federal workers on furlough.
