The only people who think these are easy jobs are the ones who have never done them. Sorry, but the whining needs to stop. If anyone thinks it’s so easy, give up the realtor/flipper jobs during the bubbles and apply. Let’s hear you talk about how easy and overcompensated it is after you’ve actually had some experience with it.[/quote]
Again, no one’s saying the jobs are “easy.” But “overcompensated” is a different subject, entirely. Overcompensated is a supply and demand issue. “Easy” is personal and subjective. If there are lots of people qualified and capable of doing a job for less money than the stated compensation, then that compensation just might be too high.
I’m 100% certain that the folks I do work for would hire someone else to do the work for less money if they could get the same quality. Why that shouldn’t apply to public sector jobs, I don’t know.[/quote]
Again, you must not have read what was posted above about the **shortage** of recruits during the good times.
Like I’ve pointed out in other posts, the recruitment and training invested in these public safety employees (along with the fact that experience is highly valued) means that public employers cannot afford to have a high turnover rate.
