(CNSNews.com) - A government worker is 38 percent more
likely to be absent from work for personal reasons or illnesses than a
private-sector worker, and government workers miss 50 percent more of their
usual work hours as a result of such absences than do private sector workers, according to data from the
Bureau of Labor Statistics. . . . .
They have more working benefits than the private sector; it is almost impossible to fire one of them and there are too many of them, but, of course, if they are not on the job as much as the private sector, it will take more of them to complete the same amount of work as in the private sector.
