Dunno what government jobs YOU are looking at -- but around here, the
Gubmint jobs pay substantially MORE than their private sector equivalents.

Just one example: A secretary at the University of Iowa can easily clear
$40K per year -- AND have the best health care and retirement I've ever
seen, anywhere.


Well around here software engineers for the state don't get squat
compared to private industry. Neither do engineers working at any
level of government, actually.

That is something odd about government jobs. Entry level positions seem to
pay way above standard wages, while professional level jobs seem to pay way
under standard.

Wonder why?

Because the civil service system is largely based on seniority and
arbitrary job classifications rather than market value as in the private
sector.
