Are Government and Government Agency Jobs Really More Secure?
Besides those that are unionized (below manager level) say at OPS, are most of thee non-unionized jobs more secure compared to similar jobs in the private sector?
It seems I had come across an article last month that suggests public service salaries have equaled or even at times surpassed their private sector counterparts and that doesn't even include future benefits like generous defined benefit pensions if you stay long enough at the workplace.
I understand government jobs can be lost but from what I read here and from a few friends who work for the government and/or agencies, I person who occupies a job that is now deemed redundant are more likely to be moved to another department working at the same band/level.
Your thoughts?
