House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Friday ordered that the maximum cap on the rate of pay for staffers in the lower chamber be raised to $212,000 per year.
The move now puts the maximum salary for House aides at $38,000 more than what lawmakers on Capitol Hill make themselves.
“As you know, our hard-working, patriotic Congressional staffers are integral to the functioning of the House of Representatives: ensuring this institution can effectively carry out our legislative and constituent responsibilities,” Pelosi said in a letter to her congressional colleagues.
“To that end, we must do all we can to retain and recruit the best talent in our nation - and to build a Congressional workforce that reflects the communities we are honored to serve,” she added.
