[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 956427, member: 60724"] Caymen, I found mention of several surveys and studies that all together don't come to any clear consensus. The article mentioned a "USA Today" survey showing that federal workers were often paid substantially more than workers in the private sector. I got this information from the article where it stated: However, earlier in the article the study by Bender and Heywood indicated that state and local workers in the public sector were making quite a bit less than those in the private sector. In particular, I am referring to the article where it states: Now, the article also says that a lot of these claims are poltically motivated, or are hyped or or swayed one way or the other to serve a purpose. That is evidenced by the article where it states: So, since the article simply refers to studies, and surveys, and various sources, all of which have their own bias and agends, the real question is: Who do you believe? Well, to me, it doesn't really matter whether priviate sector employees make more, or less, than comparable private sector employees. The jobs aren't the same, the demands aren't the same, the job securities aren't the same. There really is no comparison between the two sectors, IMHO, so comparing them on one factor/facet seems somewhat pointless. TJR [/QUOTE]
