In a move aimed at attracting and retaining top talent in the field, the federal government has approved a new salary scale for engineers. The new scale, which takes effect immediately, is designed to reflect the growing demand for skilled engineers and the increasing complexity of engineering projects.
According to the new scale, engineers with a bachelor's degree in engineering will see a significant increase in their salaries, with starting salaries ranging from $65,000 to $85,000 per year. Engineers with a master's degree will see even higher salaries, with starting salaries ranging from $80,000 to $110,000 per year.
The new scale also includes provisions for bonuses and benefits, including:

- A 3% bonus for engineers who have completed a bachelor's degree in engineering and have at least 2 years of experience
The new salary scale is expected to have a significant impact on the engineering industry, with many companies already announcing plans to increase salaries for their engineers. The move is also expected to attract more students to pursue engineering degrees and to encourage more women and minorities to enter the field.
"We are thrilled to announce this new salary scale for engineers," said [Name], Director of the Federal Government's Office of Science and Technology Policy.
