There are still some overpaying government jobs, but not as many as 15 years ago.
Now if you want to talk about overpaid and underworked, look no further than "professional" athletes. NHL players being some of the worst.

There are tens of thousands of brain surgeons and millions of teachers in the world, but only 600 top-level hockey (NHL) players**. That's an elite group that ought to be and is paid accordingly.

Next time I am in need of serious medical attention I will ask the ambumlance attendants to drive me to an NHL game since I am certain this "elite group" are better trained and will be able to aid me with their special skills.
ps: VHF you chose to make this comparison** not I.

Since we are talking about underpayers, any government agency pays well below private sector. I remember years ago when I worked for the government and I decided to move to the private sector I received a 26% raise instantly and full benefits.
If I was to go back to government today, I would have to take a pay cut of around 35-40%. Oh, and don't forget coffee at 30 cents a cup, Xmas party is $30, and no bonuses.
