Abstract: Abstract The economics of employment in the public sector are different from the private sector, as explained briefly in 4.8.5 and as illustrated in 11.5.2. Two quotations may reinforce the point: The economic position is quite different for the Government: since it must pay benefits anyway and will forgo taxes when workers are jobless, it cap afford to pay a wage equal to benefits plus the real output of the workers without incurring any real costs.1
