Okay, and why would I believe that "report?"
Why not this one?
{ne example is a quarterly report filed by the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics titled Employer Costs for Employee Compensation.
The federal data show that total compensation salary, benefits, sick days, vacation days and retirement of private workers at firms with more than 500 employees (a number of employees comparable to those employed by most state and local governments) averaged $40.75 an hour, nearly the same as average total compensation for state and government workers, which was $40.76.
But the numbers change drastically if the average compensation for all private workers, regardless of the size of the employer, is compared with those of state and local government employees. Average total compensation for all private workers is $28.24 per hour.}

{Data from the U.S. Census Bureau similarly show that in 2007 the average annual salary of a California state government employee was $53,958, nearly 32 percent greater than the average private sector worker ($40,991). In addition, as noted by reporter and Calpensions.com blogger Ed Mendel, in 2006 the state conducted a comparison of state and private sector compensation for the first time in two decades. While the Department of Personnel Administration survey did not include all job classifications, the analysis determined a number of benchmark job classifications and found that state compensation was greater than private sector compensation for clerical jobs, accountants, custodians, electricians, stationary engineers, and analysts, but lagged in medical occupations.}
