I think in the private sector the you find the 80/20 rule (20% of the people do 80% of the work) while in my experience, in government it's more like 95/5 (5% of the people do 95% of the actual work). It can be excruciatingly frustrating, but you are right, the types of problems and the datasets are not ones you'll find in your average fortune-500 corporate entity.
