[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a former fed, I had the opposite experience. We hired private sector contractors and then had to redo all of their work because it was of such poor quality. The problem with a lot of contracts is that they do a terrible job of specifying quality.[/quote]

I was a statistician at the BLS before moving to Wall Street 20 years ago. I was shocked at the lack of statistical rigor in the private sector. It was insane. And worse, "massaging" data to sell a product was not only common practice but it was expected. It took me awhile to adjust and I never did and eventually left Wall street.

Does Boeing ring a bell to anyone? The for profit sector does not give a sh**t about YOU. It's all about making sure the capital owner squeezing the last cent. [/quote]

Wall Street still lacks statistical rigor up to today. [/quote]

Government statisticians are really really good. The US army Corp of engineers has very good civil engineers. We have excellent crop scientists and on and on.

Those are Fed workers. Which Fed workers are the lazy ones that you guys are talking about?[/quote]
