67% Say Private Sector Employees Work Harder Than Government Workers
Americans continue to believe those in the private sector work harder for less money and have less job security than government workers.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of American Adults finds that 67% say employees in the private sector work harder than government workers do. Only seven percent (7%) think the opposite is true, but 25% are not sure. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
