Some industries are still growing
The leeching, parasite sector is stronger than ever!

Average wage doesn't tell the whole story. Certainly much more money can be made in the private sector.
History has shown that when the public sector prospers, the private one will prosper as well, and vise versa. After all there are a lot of private contractors working for the government, and with the stimulus bill passed, that number will likely increase.

What is the solution? Will we have to gas them?
$20-$25 an hour works out to 42K-52K per yr, I would hardly call that extravagent, and the math is rather suspect since the vast majority of wage earners in the US are cooking a hamburg concoction of some sort, so I would expect the average pay of the private sector, which prefers Mexican citizens over our own whenever the opportunity presents, something the public sector cannot do, so I would think that a properly weighted statistical study would show they get paid about the same. Perhaps I have just struck upon the ideal solution: we can hire Mexican Nationals to work as municipal workers, that should even the score. |

Yup, govt employees do get the best health care benefits. Which is why I'm kind of puzzled why some people are so against offering those benefits to the private sector as well.

I've known a lot of double-dippers. I used to think I was the smart one, saving and investing my money in the "private sector." Now, I'm not looking so smart anymore. My 401K and two IRAs were decimated by this recent financial meltdown and working on commission in an economic downturn like this is really tough.

that article is designed to turn laborers against each other (public vs private) what about all the pension plans of managers (public and private) ??

Lets turn managers and pensioners against each other instead.

And people complain about Unions. How about some outrage about public
sector pensions and benefits. Guess who's paying for their support checks and benefits.
