The only jobs the private sector tend to make more then the public sector are ones that are highly specialized and extreme long training to obtain. We are talking doctors, surgeons, lawyers, etc, etc.
The benefits of low education jobs are well above private sector and I can link you tons of articles that match this statement
So in other words, professionals tend to make more in the private sector, while low skilled and unskilled laborers make more in the public sector...
Disagreeing with someone and then saying the exact same thing is a tried and true Outpost strategy.
The point here being that I was right in my original post. The government employs many more low skill employees than high end employee's, which then in turn means that on average government employee's make more than private sector. If the highly skilled people were only getting the raises then I would see less of a problem with it.

Government employees have more education and more work experience on average than the private sector by a lot.
The biggest difference for the low skilled workers tend to be that they are in a union and have worked a lot at their low skill job. The other major factor to consider would be hazard pay and overtime.

Making people poorer for doing the same work is not a good economic strategy, retention plan, or long term labor goal.

Not factoring in standard of living, convenience, leisure time ability, and other factors into 'richer' or 'poorer' is also a pretty bad strategy.
90%+ of Americans are in the world's top 5%.

Cut everyone's pay by 25%! If they complain just remind them that compared to some bum in North Korea they're doing pretty well!

"Expected" is a word you hear from 99% of the people today. "Earn" is no long in their vocabulary. (this goes for Private and Public Sectors)

Congress determines what they get. Obama had the change as part of his proposed budget.
You are an idiot.

For the last two years federal employees haven't been able to get raises whether or not they "earn" them. HTH.

In CT people have continued to get promoted but with no pay.
