“Percentage of citizens of Maryland working in Federal Government positions: 5.5%
Percentage of citizens of Virginia working in Federal Government positions: 4.6%”

LOL, from your cite:

“The map below shows states where federal employees account for the highest share of total nonfarm employment. About 5.6 of all workers in Hawaii are federal employees, followed by Maryland (5.5 percent) and Virginia (4.6 percent).”

So Maryland and Virginia states where people are most unhappy with their jobs, are 2nd and 3rd in fedgov jobs!

Thanks for proving my point!

“About 5.6 of all workers in Hawaii are federal employees,”

I’m guessing they’re the happiest people on earth.

Okay, if you choose to ignore the fact that 94.5 % in Maryland & 96.4% in Virginia work other jobs, that's fine

If your point were indeed valid then Hawaii should be among that list, but they are not. So care to explain why they are not included? Also explain why those who make more than the average, get top benefits, have more security, and really do not have to work hard, would hate their jobs.
