[QUOTE="vvvvvvv, post: 1428350, member: 5151"] But, it's not a job-to-job comparison. Administrators in the .gov world make a salary comparable to (and sometimes lower than) their private counterparts. The problem with comparing overall averages is that government is mostly administration. For example, you don't see too many government construction workers, government sanitation workers, government plumbers, government custodial workers, etc. Most government jobs are white collar, while most private jobs are blue collar. In other words, comparing the overall average salary of federal workers with the private sector is an apples to oranges comparison that is very misleading. Why do people point out this comparison? To keep pandering to the public's emotional attachment of perceived fairness. [/QUOTE]
