Government vs. Private Sector Time Off

According to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics here are the hours absent from work (for health or personal leave reasons) as a percent of the hours usually worked.

Private Sector               1.4
Federal Government      2.0
State Government          2.2
Local Government         2.0

Clearly this indicates that if you work for government you are about 50% more likely to be sick. Unless someone can think of another reason for this disparity?
