As far as I remember, the crux of the matter were the Ohio public employee salaries, not the Federal ones.
If anyone interested in what a Ohio Public Employee takes home in a year, he/she ca find the detailed info, with some digging, here.
As it may be, this page, states that
Quote:
The median personal income for all Ohioans is $31,284, but public employees of the state of Ohio had a median pay about 33 percent higher at $41,350 last year. And nearly 1,000 state employees made more than $100,000 in 2010, according to a Dayton Business Journal review of state worker pay provided by the Ohio Department of Administrative Services. This does not include employees of state colleges, which often have administration officials and even athletic department employees who earn more than $100,000. [2] A database of Ohio public employee salaries can be found here. The Buckeye Institute has also provided information on certain salaries received by Ohio State University employees. The database is available here. It has also found that Ohio state workers today receive approximately 34% more in total compensation than their private-sector counterparts.[3]

While Haplo's 1.5x to 4x figure is .. uh.. 'somewhat' exaggerated, they do make more money. But on the other hand, aren't most Public Employees usually earn (comparatively) more when one takes into account benefits and other perks?
Just wondering. :hmmm: |
