According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 20.7 percent of the nonfarm jobs in the City of Baltimore in March were government jobs.
Nationally, 15.5 percent of all jobs are government jobs.
Within the borders of Baltimore City in March, according to BLS, there were 364,200 total “employees.” These employees included both people who lived in the city as well as people who lived outside the city but worked within its limits. Singular individuals who were employed in two different jobs at the same time are counted as two employees in the BLS survey.
Of the 364,200 total jobs in Baltimore City in March, 75,500—or 20.7 percent—were jobs working for the government. That included 39,400 state government jobs, 26,000 local government jobs, and 10,100 federal government jobs. …

Does it include public school employees? Does it include community organizers, poverty workers, etc. paid by organizations with government grants? Does it includes health care workers paid with taxpayer money given to patients?
I suspect the real number is much higher.
so at 3 percent local income tax, and four paying for the fifth’s salary, lets say its 50k..
then the other four workers need to be making approximately NINE THOUSAND DOLLARS A WEEK!!
One of the reasons I left the county I lived in until recently is that the five largest employers there are government or quasi-government organizations. What few private employers there are, are mostly involved in service businesses. Nobody actually makes anything. That’s not a formula for economic growth.
EBTs are payments. Period. The parasites are on the payroll, even though very little is expected of them. They still get paid! They ARE govt employees.
Is there a farm in Baltimore? Are there any farm jobs there? What a meaningless statement.
And their job description is to vote democrat
And how many jobs are from Serving Government, or government supported?
....and whats the problem?....
Stay in school, go to church, get a job, go to college and then apply for one those ‘government jobs’...
I’m sure bambaboy would make sure you got hired!
Even my extended family including daughter and son in law are employees of the government or whose employers receive significant federal funding. Health care worker, fire fighter, paramedic, teacher, plus two old geezers on Social Security. It is a sad statement, but the Gubmint dominates the economy, which makes it doubly hard to scale back federal spending.
If I were King, government jobs would only be 5 percent across the land!
The King would govern with a light touch, allowing his subjects to produce and live out their dreams.
(What, you think the King can control 320 million people?)
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
5% should be the number or less. At 20% it is no wonder the city is dead.
Sadly that’s nothing. Somewhere around 45% of all Maryland jobs are for the government.
Related. I have some very “lib” inlaws.
One of them is working on a PhD in economics/anthropology/sociology,
and his dissertation has determined that the “solution” to all social ills and poverty is “jobs”.
It’s pretty obvious where he thinks the “jobs” should come from, regardless of whether the economy needs those jobs done.
Amazing how many doctorates in nothing exist these days.
Can’t have society without the traditional family. Once that goes, the tyranny that replaces society will never have “jobs” for anyone.
Once the “life support” gets pulled on MD, the collapse will get catastrophic then.
The back story of 1984 was a family-less society.
The reason was so that no one would have any loyalty
to anything/anyone else but Big Brother.
The root of that, of course, was “Aufhebung der Familie” (Abolition of the family) as discussed in the second chapter of the Communist Manifesto.
