Private Sector Jobs With the Best Retirement Benefits

Whwer is the shared burden /

Quoting ...""The tumult of the last decade, with its market bubbles and crashes, two recessions, rising healthcare expenses, and compensation pressures, has caused employers to scramble to look for savings," says Jim Shaddy, North America retirement practice director at Watson Wyatt. "As a result, a number of employers have pushed some of the risk and cost in their retirement plans onto employees' shoulders.""

Private Sector TAXPAYERS continue to suffer ....... but Public Sector (Civil Servant) pensions & benefits continue to rise .

What's wrong with this picture ... why aren't they sharing in society's burdens, while we, the TAXPAYERS (who get so little) pay for the vast majority of their pensions & benefits ?

Its way past time for reductions in pensions & benefits for CURRENT, not just new civil Servants..

another aspect of finding the right job fit is to determine if the compensation being offered is a match for your skills. this can be difficult to ascertain initially, but a website called SalaryFor.com http://www.salaryfor.com/ helps make this easier by listing real salaries from an incredible number of companies and positions.
