Maybe. Or maybe me and anybody who looks at the issues in detail? Most people consider it common knowledge, and I think the majority of people who have worked both sectors can easily confirm the fact it's almost impossible to get fired.

as for your last comment, I don't think any one of the oil and gas people making obscene sums of money for years who ended up losing their jobs would have at the time traded that for half the pay and that being capped.
they chose to get on that gravy train.
What do you mean by 'obscene' amounts of money? The data from statistics Canada shows that people in the public sector generally make more than those in the private sector for comparable jobs. If public sector salaries and benefits were commonplace in the private sector, most companies in Canada would be out of business in short order, as it's simply not competitive in a market economy. Only the government can continue to rack up obscene amounts of debt, mainly to pay employees, and stay afloat.
