>>> The Labor Department counts half a million fewer public sector jobs than before the start of the recession in 2007 ...... <<<
(Sort of) YEAH? We have Obama to thank for the so-called ‘shrinking our gubmint’?
Labor Dept statistics did or did not account for such loss of public sector jobs occurred at local level or the federal gubmint? It sure looked like Obama greatly expanded the fed.
>>>> ... Even now, with the economy regaining strength, public sector employment has still not bounced back. ....
Again, this ‘economy rebound’ these guys keep telling us is not wide spread. Public sector employees (esp. non-essential personnel) are notoriously hard to get rid of, why should local government expand these just for the heck of it?
Wonder if they are including the down sized Military in those numbers?
