Well, when you figure the average benefits (health insurance/pension) at an additional $40K a year, it's $500 a day. A private sector employee working 250 days (normal yearly average) at $500 a day, would be pulling over $10.4K per month or $125K annually. Even without bennies, not too shabby and way, way above the national average for total household income, let alone individual income. I own a business, work over 300 days a year and make less than $75K. Out of that, I pay over $10K in health insurance with a high deductible and have to contribute to my own IRA. My continued income is 'performance' based. Cry me a river.
