Are Public Sector Workers Overcompensated?
Several analyses of average wages and benefits in the public and private sectors reveal that state and local government workers earn more than private sector workers. According to the most recent Employer Costs for Employee Compensation survey from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, as of December 2009, state and local government employees earned total compensation of $39.60 an hour, compared to $27.42 an hour for private industry workers-a difference of over 44 percent. This includes 35 percent higher wages and nearly 69 percent greater benefits.
Data from the U.S. Census Bureau similarly show that in 2007 the average annual salary of a California state government employee was $53,958, nearly 32 percent greater than the average private sector worker ($40,991).

I had 400% better and free benefits when I worked in the private sector a few years ago. My benefits suck today with the goverment, as for pay, hell I make less now than I did then. Though will have to say that this is the first employer I've had that actually awarded me for my military service.

It looks like private sector employment showed a sharp rise after the second round of tax cuts under President Bush, but started declining after the DemonRats took control of congress in 2007.
