Comparing the Compensation of Federal and Private-Sector Employees: A new study from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) compares federal civilian employees and private-sector employees with certain similar observable characteristics. The analysis focuses on wages, benefits and total compensation between 2005 and 2010.
Federal civilian workers with no more than a high school education earned about 21 percent more, on average, than similar workers in the private sector.
Workers whose highest level of education was a bachelor's degree earned roughly the same hourly wages, on average, in both the federal government and the private sector.
Federal workers with a professional degree or doctorate earned about 23 percent less, on average, than their private-sector counterparts.
The cost of providing benefits -- including health insurance, retirement benefits and paid vacation -- differed more for federal and private-sector employees than wages did, but measuring benefits was also more uncertain.
