besides the fact the dog warden here makes 75K a year (along with 17K in taxpayer paid benefits and pension per annum)....LOL

point taken, but there is not that big a difference.....

Between 1950 and about 1980, average compensation in the public
and private sectors moved in lockstep. But after 1980, public sector
compensation growth began to outpace private sector
compensation growth, and by the mid-1990s public sector workers
had a substantial pay advantage. In the boom years of the late-1990s,
private sector workers closed the gap a bit, but public sector pay
moved ahead again in the 2000s.
