Rightfully so.
Although I am sure your calculation does not take into account their lifetime benefits, health insurance, paid holidays and vacations, etc. If so, that would be much better for many government gigs if you tallied up TOTAL dollars, not just hourly pay check dollars, once the dust clears for the same job in the private sector. I'd bet, more times than not, you would see the government jobs in total benefits and dollar for dollar is still higher many (not all) times.
