I say "high paying" I mean getting paid a living wage. A wage that pays a house payment and car payment, etc.

You do realize we are essentially at full employment (which doesnt mean 0%)
... and the economy is booming with the exception of the housing market which is actually starting to get better

In today's marketplace, one has to be always ready to deal with a job and/or career change.
I was displaced after 9/11 and have never been able to make the transition back into my previous field of choice.
Do I blame Bush?
No, that would be foolish. I can only rightfully blame the terrorists.
From there, I went into a offshoot of real estate and while not entirely happy, had no financial complaints.
Now, that ride is over and I have had to re-educate myself for yet another field.
Do I blame Bush?
No, the housing market was in dire need of correction and in the long run, I believe it is best for the country as a whole.
It is a tough world and one has to be prepared to deal with it by being equally tough.

Back in 2000 I go a new job. It was great. Then 911 happened. We lost a new client that was headquartered in the World Trade building. From that point it was down hill for my division of the company. We were sold a year later to another company, which had lousy benefits and gave poor raises. Two years later they sold us to another company which told us in quick succession that our pension was cancelled, there would be no raises that year and 40% of us would lose our jobs to outsourcing. I left two months later for a new job.

The correct answer for most federal jobs should be none.
If you are talking about positions that serve at the "pleasure of the president" then that's different. Those jobs traditionally change every administration.

Don't know. Personal story though. My step-father got a huge promotion during the Clinton administration. The promotion took him well into the next bracket. However, thanks to Clinton's retroactive tax (thought we all forgot about it?), he ended up with less take home pay than he had before the promotion.

Maybe those jobs were lost due to the recession Clinton passed onto Bush. Or maybe it's because Clinton passed NAFTA and doubled with high corporate taxes, led to some jobs going overseas.

They don't paid alot compare to ceo for example, no one more than 200k except the vice and president. Not matter to them anyway, cause nearly all of them is already a millionaire somewhere.

This happens every time there is a new president. You should read a history book once in a while.
