I don't work in the public sector, but I'm not sure the public sector salaries ever reached their private sector counterparts. While public salaries are good, they're not ludicrously high like private sector was at the time. Not sure why people should have their salaries reduced, too, just because private sector salaries dropped. Do you mean new hires? If so, public sectors typically follow rate sheets that have a set minimum and maximum for that particular role.
