Congratulations on your first post! 

I am really interested on where there is a statement that the public sector consists of higher skilled workers.  I think you may be misunderstanding the words that you are reading.  If anything the report content would imply the exact opposite of that.

I look forward to your second post which might even be able to show some evidence of a half truth or misinformation.  I have my doubts.

 

Sure, apologies for delay, was away on holiday and I left you questioning your indefatigability (which I salute)!

Due an update this year so we can shortly have the same argument over again, which I know you love!

I see some public sector slacker has taken exception to the fact that the public sector can't continue with the claim that they are the poor cousins in the employment market. 

Typically not confident enough to actually provide an opinion but does the P&B equivalent of the "sorry they don't speak to the public" rebuff that you get when you want to speak to someone in the council that can actually resolve issues - uses a dotting account 

@quirks

Yup, your own source went on to state that public sector workers are higher qualified than private sector so not comparing like for like. You've a habit of half truths and misinformation.

I presume you're at the vanguard of a campaign for cleaner's wages for nurses, teachers, etc?
