The number of people working for the federal government has declined by 13,000 in 2017, according to data released today by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
At the same time, overall government employment in the United States increased by 7,000 as the number of people working at the state government level and the local government level both increased.
Meanwhile, the significant increase in manufacturing jobs that started last December halted in September as the nation lost 1,000 jobs in that sector.

"In December 2016, the federal government employed 2,819,000 people."
That's a lot of people that are performing unconstitutional activities.
unconstitutional means illegal

Natural born citizen means born here of citizen parents.
The last “President” was unconstitutional.
Illegal.
BOTH parties wanted the natural born citizen requirement loosened.

Have Federal Payroll costs decreased?
What do these people make with Benefits, $120,000 a Year?
$120,000 X 13,000 = $1,560,000,000 a year savings.

Salary is the tip of the iceberg. What regs do these bureaucrats make people jump through? How much do those cost?
Can't put a dollar figure on hours spent pencil pushing by business owners, due to foolish and excessive regulation. Or, on people who just said, "Eh, screw it." and didn't even bother to start.
I know of at least eight docs who got out of the doctoring business. Didn't want to bother with all of the regulation, was taking too much time away from what they really wanted to do - help patients. What's the cost there? What's the cost to their patients?
Smaller government means that everyone wins. Always.

Well done! Should have been 100,000, but we’ll take what we can get.

In all seriousness, is that the cause of the negative job growth released today, ...or...is it due to Obama holdovers putting out phony numbers and should be fired...I’d wager the latter.
Thoughts??

Does that count the military and various law enforcement you risk their lives? If it does maybe, just maybe, you might wish to clarify your post.
