The pay percentile above is computed live from PlainGovJobs' own OPM FedScope database, not hand-typed: Appalachian Regional Commission's average salary is ranked against every other federal agency's average salary, agency-by-agency (not weighted by headcount), and the percentile is the share of agencies whose average is strictly lower.
