if she's really worth 24,000, then she should be able to walk into a

This is not really fair as there are many jobs where the only, or
main, employers are local authorities. For example, if X was earning
24,000 as an infant teacher, she is unlikely to get a similar job at a
similar salary in the private sector and the same goes for a rating
and valuation officer or an environmental health officer or a social
worker or a traffic warden or parking attendant.

Many local government jobs need quite intensive and specialisred
training and qualifications which are, perhaps, of little use outside
the local government sphere.
