So why don't people in the private sector clamor to get jobs in the awesome public sector?
Because the public sector jobs are so good that nobody ever quits, or gets fired. That's makes them really hard to get since job openings are scarce.

According to the rightwing, Government just grows and grows, is inefficient, countless holidays and so on. So, there should be ample opportunities every year!curious2 says
The Bushes and Clintons have profited famously from their time in the public sector,
Mostly, post-career profiting. This is more like "I could be President of America or CEO of a company"....
"I could be Chief of Police or mid-level Manager"

I thought it was relatively widely accepted that Government pay was usually lower than the private sector but that the trade-off was stability. They also tend to receive good benefits, perhaps better than their private sector counterparts.
However, I recently discovered that many on the right believe that the Government pays better in addition to their myriad benefits.
Is there any hard data or otherwise convincing information to prove this one way or the other?
