Occupation is in demand.
Pay varies with the size and type of government agency and the location of the job. Wages are higher in large cities where agency budgets are bigger and living costs are higher.
Because they work for government agencies, most compliance officers and inspectors receive typical benefits. These include health insurance, paid vacation, sick leave, and a retirement plan.
