To some it may come as no surprise that America’s highest paid government workers are not teachers, nurses, or sanitation workers. However, according to a report released Wednesday by the Center for Media and Democracy, the highest paid “government workers” are not even employees of the federal government.

As CMD explains in EXPOSED: America’s Highest Paid Government Workers, a group of private corporate executives across the country have increasingly pushed for the privatization of public services while maneuvering high-paying contracts with the government “and then pay themselves and other executives eye-popping salaries.”

Included in the report are people like private prison CEO of the GEO Group George Zoley, who made $22 million between 2008 and 2012.

GEO Group makes 86 percent of its revenue from taxpayers. CMD reports:

Another exorbitantly paid “government worker” highlighted in the report is Jeffry Sterba, president and CEO of American Water Works Company, the largest private provider of water and wastewater services in the US. Sterba has made $8.3 million in the three years he has spent as top executive.
