Although the White House is required to report to Congress the title and salary of every White House Office employee each year, the Obama administration also releases a searchable list on its website, which you can see below.

Top earners max out at an annual $172,200, including White House Chief of Staff Jacob Lew, Press Secretary Jay Carney, Director of the National Economic Council Gene Sperling, National Security Adviser Thomas Donilon and senior adviser Valerie Jarrett.

And how’s this for a dream job? Patricia Blair, the White House chief calligrapher, makes a cool $96,000 per year.
