divided into 5 levels: the first level of the administrative directory has 21:
15 heads of the federal administration, and the other 6 are U.S. trade
representatives, director of the budget management office, director of the national
drug control policy office, and national intelligence director, chairman of the
Federal Reserve System.

military service of the Ministry of Defense, and the chiefs of important
independent agencies (such as the chief of the Central Intelligence Agency).

Aviation of the Department of Transportation). In 2008, the salaries of level 2
administrative directory officials were $ 172,200. The level 3 administrative
directories are mainly subordinate heads of the administrative department (such
as the chief prosecutor of the United States), etc.

independent agencies (such as the chairman of the Federal Communications
Commission), heads of subordinate important administrative agencies (such as

Under the administrative directory, there is the senior
administrative directory / administrative level. These civilian ranks and
salaries are slightly lower than the level 5 administrative directory. They are
on par with the military officers. Those who hold technical professional
positions.

hired staff to middle managers. This level of the 16/17/18 general directory
has been replaced by the high-level administrative directory. Most federal
civil servants belong to this level.
The following is a rough comparison of the federal civilian civil service ranks with the U.S. military ranks:
SES / SL <-> Admiral (O-10), Lieutenant General (O-9),
Major General (O-8), Brigadier General (O-7)
Level 15 General Catalog (GS-15), Level 14 General Catalog
(GS-14) <-> Colonel (O-6)
Class 13 General Catalog (GS-13) <-> Lieutenant Colonel
(O-5)
Class 12 General Catalog (GS-12), Class 11 General Catalog
(GS-11) <-> Major (O-4)
Class 10 General Catalog (GS-10)
<-> Captain (O-3)
Class 9 General Catalog (GS-9)
Class 8 General

Level 7 General Catalog (GS-9) <-> Ensign (O-1)
Class 6 General Catalog (GS-6)
Class 5 General
Catalog (GS-5) <-> 9/8/7 Sergeant (E-9 / E-8 / E-7)
Level 4 General Directory (GS-4) - Level 1 General Directory
(GS-1) <-> 6/5/4 Sergeant (E-6 / E-5 / E-4)3/2/1 Soldier (E-3 / E-2 /
E-1)
It should be noted that the President and Vice President are
elected officials, and therefore do not belong to federal civil servants. The
US State Department implements the rank of diplomat, which is different from
ordinary public affairs and will be introduced later. In addition, some federal
civil servant positions require Requires certain academic qualifications. Even
if they are newly hired for the federal government, they do not start with
GS-1. For example, FBI agents must hold a four-year college degree, and they
belong to the GS-10 level from the beginning of their work, already.
Therefore, the ten-level officials of the US government are
equivalent to China's deputy section chief positions.
U.S. officials above the tenth level can be said to be all
officials except grass-roots civil servants. Ten levels is basically the lowest
official level, it may be the mayor of a small town, the mayor of a small city.
Like the county head (county head), governor, that's all local senior
officials.
