Advertiser Staff
The federal government is proposing a raise in the cost-of-living pay adjustment for the Big Island to 18 percent from 17 percent.The increase would apply to U.S. Postal Service and white-collar federal workers in Hawai'i County. A notice in the Federal Register said the proposal was part of a survey done every three years on COLA payments. It did not find a cost-of-living increase was needed for workers on other islands in the state.
