Feds Better Off Compared to Private Sector Workers, Survey Finds
Despite the ongoing pay freeze and talks of other cuts to federal employees’ pay and benefits, the majority of Americans still believe government workers are better off than private sector workers, a new survey has found.
The poll, conducted by Rasmussen Reports, found that 67 percent of respondents believed private sector employees work harder than government employees. Sixty-seven percent of the 1,000 respondents also said federal workers have more job security than private sector workers.
Most respondents also believe that government workers earn more money than private sector employees, a slight decrease from the 58 percent who agreed with that statement in September.
The respondents were split on their feelings on government employee unions: 46 percent oppose them while 49 percent favor them.

Every week I enjoy helping clients or folks in my classes understand the various federal retirement options they have. Whenever possible, I try to show them ways they can maximize their benefits. Many times, I can help federal employees save or gain thousands of dollars in retirement income simply by showing them their options and walking them through their own unique scenarios.
