average wage and salary increases for each Civil Service grade over the last 12 months.

Mr. Charles R. Morris

Pay increases for industrial civil servants over the period were about 9 per cent. Pay increases for about 95 per cent. of the staff in the non-industrial grades up to Assistant Secretary over the past 12 months stem from the recent pay research settlement which gave average increases in basic national pay rates of 32½ per cent. over 15 months since the last settlement, the equivalent of 26 per cent. over 12 months.
