New Jersey public workers in eye of benefit-cut storm | Philadelphia Inquirer | 03/01/2011: "The notion that state workers are overpaid and over-pensioned, Juravich said, is simply not true because pensions are modest. (New Jersey's Communications Workers of America retirees average $25,000 to $28,000.) And, he said, teachers are generally paid less than other workers with comparable educations.
The country is 'recalibrating. We need to have a tightening of the belt, but we have to be careful,' Juravich said.
Overly deep cuts could create an unproductive workforce and a dangerously deteriorated quality of government services, he said"
