Every job has good and bad benefits.....

It used to be, ( maybe 20-35 years ago, depending...) that many city, state jobs had lower pay, but people took them because of the benefits and the relative stability of the jobs. Among other things........

Now...these same jobs have benefits AND pay that many times far exceed what is available in the private sector.

When government employed people start to exceed the numbers in the private work-force...we will have a very large problem. In many states the state is the 2nd to 4th largest employer. That's a problem...that many can appreciate the potential consequences of.
