Federal employees work about a month less per year than private sector workers,
according to a report by
conservative think tank Heritage Foundation.
The report found federal employees work on average of 38.7 hours a week, compared
with 41.4 hours per week in the private sector. That difference adds up to 3.8
fewer
weeks per year that feds work compared with private sector workers.
"From a budgetary perspective, shorter work hours in the public sector may cause
governments to be less efficient in converting tax dollars into public services.
More broadly, the perception that government employees do not work as hard as
private-sector employees runs counter to the spirit of public service," according
to
the report.

Couple that with the competency levels of a fair number of them and its almost better that they don't come to work....we just need to figure out how to pay them what they're really worth....
