This meaty article will prompt many pro and con contributions by Piggs. It is a healthy debate to have, since our fiscal future and our state’s economy depends upon it.
The question is whether state employees are overcompensated or not compared to similar private sector occupations. While many dueling statistics can be brought forth by both sides, I’d like to pose one question: What is the quit rate for public sector workers compared to similar private sector workers?
I’ve heard that the public sector workers almost never quit, suggesting that they know they have a good deal. But that’s only anecdotal. Any Piggs have any statistics?
