It really depends on your quality within title. For example USA today probably considers waffle house cooks making 6 Per hour the same as a government cook working at the state house. There are far more low end cooking jobs by percentage in private sector.

Another thing the USA today article over looks is living expenses. Almost all professional government jobs are in big cities with high cost of living.

It is commonly known that at equal skill level you will make less pay for the government.

As much as the politicos would like to claim otherwise, I have never heard of anyone taking a govt job so they can make more money.
