When the president and vice president released their 2009 tax returns a couple weeks ago, we saw that Joe Biden reported just a fraction of the income that his boss claimed last year. The Obamas have book deals to mainly thank for their disproportionately higher earnings, as the salaries on Capitol Hill are preordained and regimented—and, depending on where you fall on the totem poll, not necessarily lucrative. That said, the upper rungs of the political ladder do largely fall among the top 5 percent of earners in the U.S., and as we explain in our recent article, that small group accounted for 61 percent of all individual income taxes paid out to Uncle Sam last year.

As for those government paychecks, the below infographic looks at average salary figures for some lower-profile federal jobs to see how your income compares.
