Federal site linked to this wage area
OPM uses Offutt Air Force Base as the federal site linked to the Omaha, Nebraska wage area.
That site helps identify the wage area, but it does not mean every job on this page works at that exact location.
What this wage area covers
The Omaha, Nebraska (RUS) schedule is one of the published regular-area FWS schedules used to set hourly pay for federal trade, craft, and labor jobs. In 2024, the top WG worker rate on this schedule reaches $36.28 per hour, or about $75,716 per year if you annualize the hourly rate across 2,087 work hours.
The suffix on this schedule tells you which GS locality alignment DCPAS uses for this variant. Here that is Rest of U.S. (RUS). RUS means Rest of U.S., which is the nationwide non-locality GS baseline.
DCPAS links this schedule to the Rest of United States (RUS) GS locality code. That does not make it a GS table, but it is useful context when comparing white-collar and hourly federal pay in the same labor market.
