These numbers mean nothing. The Federal Government is top-heavy with jobs that require a college education or beyond. There are comparatively few jobs in the minimum wage area and only a few more in the ‘pink collar’ section.
But it makes for a good post, I’ll give you that
Some conservatives are foolishly attacking government employees. As you wrote, this “study” was done with a political agenda in mind. Of course government workers have a higher average salary than the private sector.
Government employees are not the enemy. Conservatives are NOT anarchists. Someone has to do government work. What do people expect? Should conservatives shun all government work and let the liberals run it all?
There’s no shame in trying to feed one’s family, and many federal jobs are fully constitutional!
Conservatives are NOT anti-government. Conservatives want small government, not no government. If anyone is to blame, it’s voters who elect leaders who create the jobs. If voters stop asking government to fix everything, maybe it won’t need so many employees.
Well not really. It appears top heavy because they inflate the positions to pay more.
And then there are the thousands of contractor positions which have been converted to federal employees over the last year.
Isn’t the post office the single largest employer?
