From one of the comments:

"Pensions are probably the largest chunk of it, but the value of the entire benefit package should be considered as well. Very few private sector jobs include the types of benefits that public-sector workers enjoy. Take a look at the share of health insurance paid by workers for example."

The pensions for California public employees are not matched anywhere in the private sector that I am aware of.
