For things like contractors doing the jobs of soldiers, this is true. For private v. public sector excluding the military, the public sector has better total compensation in most situations. This is all base don averages, of course. But federal government employees and most state employees are compensated better in total than their private sector counterparts. Salary may be less, but other things make up for it. There are exceptions, like the Commonwealth of Virginia, but it's not the norm.
