Hi Michael,
Sorry to respond so late. Private businesses tend to pay quite a bit more
than state companies, especially skilled positions. The desertion is a
combination of boot and attraction. Of course, it depends on what kind of
skills you possess and the state of the SOE you're located in.
I understood that the private businesses pay less and have inferior working
conditions. Why the desertion? It sounds like the boot.
