That is NJ in a nutshell; companies and their workers are fleeing as our government worker caste sucks us dry. As real jobs leave, our government workers are our upper middle class - and practically the only Americans breeding.
I don’t know. I see all the newborn’s listed in the Sunday paper. A majority of them are born to parents with differing last names. The listed careers of the parents aren’t predominately government. If they even have one. Don’t know about where you live or if it’s just a location thing, but we have our share of government in NY for sure.
