Federal Gov’t Jobs Down 11,000 in 2017; State Gov’t Jobs Down 2,000; Local Gov’t Jobs Up 12,000
By Terence P. Jeffrey | September 1, 2017 | 9:52 AM EDT

(CNSNews.com) - The number of people working for the federal government has declined by 11,000 in 2017 while the number working for state governments has declined 2,000, according to data published today by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

But because the number of people employed by local governments has climbed 12,000 so far this year, the overall decline in the number of people employed nationwide by government has only dropped by 1,000 in 2017.

Meanwhile, even though manufacturing jobs have increased by 137,000 this year, the number employed by government in August still exceeded the number employed in manufacturing by 9,818,000.

The gov't employees 10,000,000 more than manufacturing industry.  That is a sobering number.

Government can tax, print, and borrow more than manufacturing. Also, manufacturing can replace employees with automation

Trouble is, they are getting rid of the good employees via retirement buyouts.

The ones who remain are those who aren't able to just move on to another position. 

A smarter way would be to get rid of the deadweight.

Good luck tangling with the civil service unions on that.
