Government employees (teachers) get pensions after a certain period so it's not a good comparison as they make far more money in the long run.

  Not necessarily. Lots of governments and unions have negotiated reduced defined benefit pensions for newer (re:younger) workers.

    Still, the question is how does this compare to other fields.. not the same field a few years previously.

    > Not necessarily. So you are saying it is a good comparison? Or less strong? Do you have an example?

  Source that all federal, state, county, and local employees employed by any government in the diverse country that is the US all magically get the same retirement structure?

    I never stated such a thing, nor mentioned magic. The discussion is around statistics and averages and I was writing generally. It's disingenuous to assume the same thing applies in absolute terms.
