This is so far from reality though!

City employee turnout is very low at ALL levels (educated/non-educated, management/unions, office/field). They do move around a lot within the organization, as the City promotes it, but they don't leave the City much at all. There is a good reason for it - they are very well compensated and they can rarely find better overall compensation package in the private employment market. Short hours, good longevity/loyalty rewards, great benefits, good child care, additional pension benefits, almost 100% market-insulated job security. This by far outweighs a few extra bucks offered by some private industries when economy is doing well.
