How FWS pay works in Mississippi

The Federal Wage System is the hourly pay system used for many federal trade, craft, and labor jobs. Unlike the salaried General Schedule pay tables, FWS pay is published as local hourly wage schedules with separate WG worker, WL leader, and WS supervisory rates.

This page lists the official regular-area schedules that DCPAS publishes for Mississippi in 2023. Open the wage area that matches your county to see the full hourly tables, covered counties, official PDF, and related GS locality context. If you want a faster lookup path, use the FWS calculator.

Major federal sites behind these pay tables

OPM names one federal site for each wage area. That site is the main federal location used to anchor that pay table. If you know the base, depot, arsenal, or medical center name but not the wage-area name, these pages give you another path into the right pay table.

Why some wage areas appear more than once. DCPAS can publish more than one schedule variant for the same wage area when counties inside that area line up with different GS locality alignments. That is why you may see one schedule marked Rest of U.S. (RUS) and another tied to a named GS locality code.

Wage areas in Mississippi

Some wage areas split into more than one official schedule variant because different counties inside the same broader wage area align to different GS locality codes. For example, RUS means Rest of U.S. , while other variants can point to a named GS locality area instead . Use the county count and locality label to pick the right page.
