What state is this?
Is there really a state that is having a hard time hiring workers???
Libtard redistributionist....
Now that right there is funny!.
Gee, I thought the idea of serving or working in government was to better America and it’s people; not to enrich ones self by cheating, lying and stealing the taxpayers money.
having a degree doesn’t always mean the same thing.
some people have degrees in nuclear engineering... others in liberal arts. one can produce energy for the entire country... the other can talk about their feelings.
of course useless degrees gravitate towards government... it’s the next best thing to academia. you cannot get fired and there are no real deadlines so long as you have a valid excuse.
i remember in the 80s having to deal with some civilian phd type @ the pentagon. he was supposedly high up in SDI... but as i was describing the system to him, he couldn’t get passed colors and the mouse (this was the 80s... graphical apps were a bit new). i’d swear he was on some kind of drugs.
over the years i have interviewed between 1,000-2,000 tech types (many more resumes... these are the ones that passed the initial screening).... and i can tell you, a phd is no guarantee of technical knowledge. and yes, i expect them to demonstrate a small set of code segments or come up with a design on the spot. if you cannot do something that simple, why would i want you on the team? and yes... most of the times, the phds failed the basic questions.
This lying, scumbag organization is aligned with the SEIU and the AFL-CIO.
Complete horse manure.
In the private sector you have to produce to keep your job its not guaranteed for life. In Government jobs its how much time you can goof off and still get paid,how much can you steal,where are the good places to hide. what training is involved in holding up a shovel anyway?

Gee, I wonder what report co-author John S. Heywood, distinguished professor, thinks about human impact on global warming.
The education requirements for public employees is vastly inflated. Higher education requirement are a screening crutch for bureaucratic hiring practices that often result in hiring people not suited to the work. Higher education requirements are also used to justify higher salaries, often far in excess of what the private sector pays for similar work.
I believe that much of the growth in diploma mills and commercial college level providers (e.g. Univ of Phoenix) is driven by the public sector where a Masters degree from Fred and Sally’s Handy Dandy Grad School counts the same as a Masters from Harvard. With the first you get an idiot with a degree. With the second you get a genius with a degree and no clue. Take your pick.
If every, single word of this is true, it doesn’t change the fact that we can’t afford it.
I would like to know why NONE of these analysis ever include the dollar value of rock solid public employee job security when they consider total compensation.
In other words, what’s it worth for virtually guaranteed life time employment with little or no chance of EVER being fired? 10% of salary??? 20% of salary????
And another aspect of this has crossed my mind....since job security is a benefit of and compensation for public employment, why can’t public employees be taxed for that extra income????

Excerpt: "For decades, public sector unions have peddled the fantasy that government employees were paid less than their counterparts in the private sector. In fact, the pay disparity is the other way around. Government workers, especially at the federal level, make salaries that are scandalously higher than those paid to private sector workers."
