This was reported in USA Today about a week ago and on Fox News over the weekend. Total compensation - average private sector job $69,000 vs. average federal job $108,000. The federal base salary exceeded the private sector base salary in 80% of comparable job classifications, that's not including benefits. Throw in benefits and it is about 100%. Also consider most in the private sector are not compensated for overtime. Private sector = 3% retirement benefit per year...try retiring at 55 or even 65 on that savings rate. And job security is non-existent in the private sector.
