Public-sector benefits rule, according to employees.
A Gallup poll asked both public- and private-sector workers how satisfied they are with 13 different aspects of their jobs. And according to data from the last five years of Gallup’s annual “Work and Education” poll, there’s a measurable difference when it comes to satisfaction with retirement plans and other benefits.
They’re pretty much on a par with each other when asked how satisfied they are with a number of job aspects, with percentages varying only slightly. For instance, 91 percent of workers in each category — both public and private — said they were either completely or somewhat satisfied with the physical safety of their workplace.
