That's where the gov't job comes in. Unless you're in a serious social situation, you're going to get paid in your gov't job.

This is not entirely true. Just because your job is at public sector, it doesn't give you a full job security.
It all depends. A lot of public sector employers would rather NOT hire "permanent full time" employee. They will still try to cut the budget and not create permanent position when they make union contract.
Auxiliary/Seasonal/Casual employees are in most danger of getting fired/laid off. They can easily word it in a way that's legitimate and let you go. Often unfair or unreasonable but what can you do.
Permanent Full Time: 35hrs-40hrs a week, good benefit and everything
Permanent Part Time: 15-17.5hrs a week, you're still entitled for all the benefits but lesser amount
Temporary Full Time: You will have to get re-hired after 6-12 month or never come back.
Temporary Part Time: Same as above, these "temporary" jobs are usually for covering someone's maternity leave
Auxiliary: No job security, union won't care about you much, however you will get % of lieu in benefit
Seasonal/Casual: Usually very seasonal, summer job, winter job, etc.
