CBC releases a statement on 2004 data from the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics. The data shows that the hourly earnings of State and local government employees exceed those of private-sector employees in the greater New York City region by an average of 15 percent. The wage data, which includes hourly earnings but excludes fringe benefits, undermines the longstanding myth that the public sector must provide unusually generous fringe benefits packages in order to compensate for higher private-sector salaries.
