Most people believe that there was some sort of compromise between public employment and private employment.
Traditionally, you would expect to be paid somewhat less in a public role in exchange for better pension and benefits, as well as better job security.
Instead what has happened is that public sector employees are now paid more salary than private counterparts doing similar work, they have MUCH better pensions and benefits, and also much higher job security.
Something has to change as it simply isn't sustainable.
And yes, 100K is much higher than the average wage is Alberta.
