Member Offices can have up to 18 permanent and 4 non-permanent staff, but job titles vary widely (e.g., "Legislative Director" vs. "LD").

This groundbreaking approach delivers the most comprehensive and inclusive analysis, ensuring no title is overlooked.

Many Capitol Hill staff wear multiple hats, often reflected in titles that have slashes like "Deputy Chief of Staff/Legislative Director."

At HillClimbers.org, we’ve meticulously categorized these multi-role positions, ensuring no role is overlooked.

By recognizing every responsibility a staffer holds, our data delivers the most complete and accurate representation of House offices.

Shared employees present a unique challenge. Some provide tech or finance support to multiple Member Offices, splitting their salary across budgets. Others are strategically shared between a Member Office and a Committee to optimize budgets—for example, a Chief of Staff might be paid $20,000 by the Member and $170,000 by the Committee.

At HillClimbers.org, we’ve accounted for these scenarios to ensure our data reflects true compensation values. Unlike others, we don't dilute averages by including only partial salaries. Our analysis provides precise insights into what roles like Chiefs of Staff actually earn, avoiding misleading salary ranges.
