I have looked at it. And my conclusion is they aren't much. Health insurance? A lump some monthly premium which the employee pays 50 percent. Thats a pay cut. And it makes the wages above actually lower because its taken out of income. And the amount is about what a car payment is. The cost of pensions untill recently was pretty much zero. In fact employees pension money went back to the state government. As to the amount, if you work 30 years, you get 33-34 percent of the average of your "highest three years of employment". Only enogh to live on, somewhere else, if you combine it with social security.  Employees were paying the state to work for it. The normal costing doesn't work here, Beyond that shouldn't health insurance and a liveable pension be a right? And public employee benefits in this area serve as a basis to extending it to all.
