Total compensation costs, including wages, salaries and benefits, averaged $43.94 per hour
for private sector employees, approximately 40% less than the $61.37 average hourly compensation cost for state and local government workers, according to the BLS data. The disparity was primarily driven by pricey government benefit plans, with costs averaging $13.04 per hour for private industry workers, over 80% less than the $23.57 per hour in benefit costs for their state and local government counterparts. “Gov’t work is a helluva gig!”
