Pensions but no work?

Seems to be a good article on overall pensions for all levels of government but actual work only discussed in single articles separately federal, state and local.Student7 (talk) 02:01, 11 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The number of state and local pensioners seems grossly understated, given the source cited. The source shows 18 Million or so state and local government employees in 2002, not 3-4 million as noted in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:582:8102:2FE0:AC36:1597:D3F0:E6D1 (talk) 16:53, 22 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
