Government jobs versus private jobs

Every human being wishes to lead a stable and secure life. And when it comes to stability
and security we always look towards government sector. With globalization large number of
Multi National Companies has entered into our territory. By offering high packages and extra
facilities these companies attract the youth to such an extent that they even switch to private
sector without looking at the brighter side of public sector. On comparing the private jobs to
government jobs, government jobs will always stay ahead in following terms.

An employee always wants stability and security in his/her job which only a government
job can provide. Along with this it also provides additional benefits such as Provident Fund,
Leave Travel Concession, pension plans, retirement benefits etc which we don’t find in
private jobs.

Pay structure is a very important factor for an individual job-seeker. Though an employee
working in a private company earns more than a government employee, but there is no
guarantee for how long he will be earning the same sum, whereas government sector ensures
sure pay to its workers even during recession. After the advent f 6th pay commission the pay
scale of a government employee has hiked from 6% to, 12 to 22%.

Private companies take more work from their employees more than they pay. You can be
called even on holidays for work, whereas in public sector the employees have predefined
and standard working hours with no overtime. Even if a government servant is asked for on
overtime they will be provided overtime benefits. A private employee can sometimes be seen
frustrated and because of the work load but a government employee is always relaxed as
there in never too much work to be done.

An employee will definitely look towards promotional benefits. In government companies
promotion is given on the basis of work period. Longer is your work span higher is the
opportunity for promotion. This can also be disadvantageous for someone who is above
average as he may not be able to grow faster. While in this context private job is preferable as
promotion is given on the basis of work done. Private sector job offers opportunities for high
career potential growth.

It is not that government jobs have a limited scope to build up a career. Starting from arts to
commerce, engineering, medical, civil, all fields include government jobs. It is the world of
competition so the selection process is done on the basis of merit. We can find every third
student preparing to clear the competition for government jobs as the youth now days are
very much concerned about their secure future.

The main benefit of working as a government employee is the status symbol in the society as
working with a government organization is the reputation associated with it.
