For those who aren't familiar with government math, here's how to understand it: If you were earning $20.00 per hour and wanted to earn $25.00 per hour after your annual cost of living raise; but you only got a $2.00 per hour raise so that you were then earning $22.00 per hour -- that is, in government terms, a "pay cut" of $3.00 per hour.
