Director of Stenography — $95,500
While most White House positions have a turnover that aligns with the president’s term, the Director of Stenography is one of the few jobs that don’t have a political agenda. This position is responsible for a team of stenographers who take notes on all official White House meetings for the press.
Up until 2016, the annual salary for this role was $117,846 per year, and it seems that the ranking has dropped over time, as today, only $95,500 are earned.
Director of White House Information Technology — $168,000
Imagine what it would be like working in IT at the White House under the President. Your phone would be ringing at all hours of the day and night with radical demands from citizen No. one. The position, which was first created by President Obama, is paid $168,000 per year.
This is quite a bit more than the salary offered in 2016 when the position was first introduced. David Recordon made at the time just $121,752 while he was the Director of White House Information Technology.
Director of White House Travel Office — $92,400
Compared to the rest of the salaries for White House employees, the Director of the White House Travel Office is definitely getting ripped off. He is responsible for booking travel accommodations for all of the White House press corps members.
While this salary is hardly worthy of the work this position requires, it's still much more than what it was in 2016, a mere $77,625.
Social Secretary — $168,000
Considered the least controversial job in the White House, the Social Secretary is basically a glorified event planner. They’re responsible for executing all of the social events held in the White House, such as the Christmas tree lighting and the Easter egg roll. A great position in our opinion!!!
The role pays $168,000 per year, which is far more than what the Secretary made in 2016. The position paid at the time $119,723 which in our opinion, is not rewarding enough for the person behind the staff's morale.
Press Secretary — $183,000
The Press Secretary is probably the toughest job in Washington DC. For this reason, it’s also one of the highest-paid gigs. The Press secretary is basically a spokesman. The person behind this role is responsible for collecting information about acts held by the White House and delivering them to the global press.
The position received a slight salary bump since it was held by Josh Earnest in 2016. Back then the role only paid $176,461 per year.
