| Aug 7, 2017 at 7:16 | comment | added | Evargalo | Do you have any source on your affirmations, or is it just prejudice against public administrations ? pjc50's answer shows that the private sector's productivity did not progress more that the public sector's one in the computer age. Denis de Bernardy's answer shows that the number of civil servants in UK did recrease over the period. Meanwhile, lowering costs of state agencies has been a widespread political motto in most of the western world since the eighties. | |
