Do government jobs benefit over private jobs?

It has always been an eternal dilemma for an unemployed person to opt for a correct job that would open the alleyway of success with huge salaries and high standard. Opting for either a private job or a government sector job always becomes a tight spot for a job seeker. Though the private sectors are offering massive job opportunities, that too with attractive packages and other amenities, but the job security is still a concern. The obsession of government jobs is on the same position as it was few years back. The recession period may put the employee working in a private company in a very thorny situation, as he/she knows that his/her job is on stake. This is why people leap back to government jobs.

By and large people are happier to apply for vacancies in the private sector. But still some choose to move into government sector. And one of the foremost reasons for this is stability and job security. The government jobs have generally been seen as less favorable as compared to the private jobs when it comes to economic payback. Due to the necessity of experienced and skilled folks and the truth that the private sectors are offering superior pay packages, the government sectors have revised their salary scales. With the initiation of the 6^th pay commission, the scenario is no more the same. We no longer need to worry about less salary packages in a government job.

There are enormous government jobs available in diverse sectors in India. The various sectors like banking, Defense, Engineering, Medical, railway, navy, Air force, IT, Law, etc offer job opportunities in government sectors. Applying for a government job requires you to appear for an entrance exam in order to become qualified for jobs in any of the above sectors.

There are many benefits of having a state job such as job security, good salaries, flexible rules, sufficient leaves, non hectic schedules and the list goes on and on. After all the benefits and merits, still people fail to get a govt job because of several reasons such as unable to clear in the entrance exams and many times people just fail to get a job opening notification on time.
