No, it will not. Feel free to go to the DOL website and check the labor wage rates for 2013-2014. Again, even these jobs have pay rates higher then $10/hr. You and the rest of the right-wingers want to jump into Fox News-like hysterics over something like this while the impact is negligible. But as I said, facts are boring. Bumpersticker rhetoric is much more exciting. Rant! Rave! Shout! Hyperbole!
And BTW, executive orders, regardless of the president or agenda, are inherently political. Hence the name.
And incidentally, federal contractor positions have been eliminated and cut along with federal employee positions (though those are generally due to retirement attrition and subsequent elimination). So even the lower-wage scale contractors are assuming more work anyway. To attract qualified personnel, private companies who contract with the government need to provide better wages and benefits. The thing the right-wing forgets when they chant about smaller government (when it suits their agenda, of course) is that the regulatory or legal requirements which were met by those now-eliminated positions does not go away simple because you cut the people doing them. You just have less people doing more work.
Again, those damn facts and realities.
