Hi,You will find in most cases the private sector are paid 40% or higher than those in UK also,
Totally agree with you. All PS/CS workers should be brought down to 2011 levels and hey presto, pay equality.The situation where people appointed after 2011 earn less is ridiculous, and needs addressing, which seems to be most of what the budget is doing. If there's a need for a broader reassessment of salary scales, then that's a different matter, but I think pointing to the discrepancy between private and public sector wages is assuming a causality that just might not be there.

Taken collectively, the UK private sector is much wealthier.
No. I'm just pointing out that I cannot see why we have such a gap between what those in the public and private sectors earn here versus in the UK.Well you are surely not suggesting that we have more higher earners here than in the UK are you?
.
Absolutely scandalous that the majority of government spending increases are going to benefit those with the greatest job security & most generous pension arrangements. Also, incredible that our PS are paid, on average, 40% higher than those in private sector. In the UK the gap is 1%
Doesn't that mostly imply that our private sector is made up of a much higher proportion of lowly paid and possibly low skilled workers? ... Its not going to shock anyone that doctors and teachers earn more than people who work in Tesco or call centres, but its definitely worth investigating if that statistic suggests most jobs with 'decent' wages are paid by the government.
The highest average weekly earnings of €1,133.51 were in the Information and Communication sector, followed by the Financial, insurance and real estate activities sector at €1,119.36. The lowest average weekly earnings were €356.29 in the Accommodation and food service activities sector and €482.91 in the Arts, entertainment, recreation and other service activities sector. See table 1 and figure 2.
I agree; a 40% gap is nonsense.So if you compare wages in both sectors with comparable jobs, then it tells a different story.
For instance, do private medical consultants earn more than their colleagues in public sector?
What about the General Secretary of a government Department and say a, CEO of a private bank?
Im sure there are variances in both sectors with either doing better or worse than the other, but I suspect if it were analyzed in detail the 40% disparity would shrink considerably.
2.4bn buys an awful lot of nurses!!!Im not sure of the logic above. On the one hand there is a drive to resolve acute issues such as healthcare. On the other hand, if this involves recruiting more nurses there appears to be an expectation that this will not be reflected in increased public sector wage bill.
