Most studies I have seen peg public sector workers as being paid significantly more than their private sector workers, especially when comparing apples to apples.

Trying to compare average municipal workers to average oil industry is rather useless because the qualifications and skillsets are so different. Kind of like saying why would I choose to pick fruit when I could be CEO of Microsoft and get way better...?
