Private & Public Sector Workers

Texte du rabat

An issue for Congress and state and local governments is whether the pay and benefits of public workers are comparable to those of workers in the private sector. To deal with budget deficits, many policymakers are looking at the pay and benefits of public sector employees as a way to reduce government spending. This book provides a comparison of selected characteristics, including age, education, and occupation, of public and private sector workers.
