David, what data do you have that people work less per compensation in the public sector? I know that you may find some examples, but public employees typically make less - although with benefits, the case is less clear cut.

How about the post WWII expansion of state employment? If we can assume there are some laborers who want to work less, and others who want to make more money, I can imagine the former gravitating toward public employment, where the hours worked compared to compensation received is pretty good. Just a thought in support of my evolving belief that demographic self-selection is the answer to alot of questions. David Shemano
