In an environment where Chicken on The Run is paying its workers $15 an hour (equal to $30K a year) and guys working in Construction are pulling in over $100K with overtime, the starting salary of many of these public sector jobs might not seem all that great, but if the price of oil ever goes back in the crapper, there will be huge waiting lists again to get into these occupations. In the '90s, it was actually difficult to get into many of these occupations (nursing, teaching, police services, etc..)
