21,995,000 to 12,329,000
Those employed by government in the United States in August of this year outnumbered those employed in the manufacturing sector by almost 1.8 to 1,according to data published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
There were 21,995,000 employed by federal, state and local government in the United States in August, according to BLS. By contrast, there were only 12,329,000 employed in the manufacturing sector.
The BLS has published seasonally-adjusted month-by-month employment numbers for both government and manufacturing going back to 1939. In the first 50 years of the 76-year span since then, manufacturing out-employed government. But in August 1989, government overtook manufacturing as a U.S. employer.
That month, government employed 17,989,000 and manufacturing employed 17,964,000.

ReplyDeleteBased on my experience contracting in a number of different agencies....easily 60% could be eliminated without impact to the requirements and services associated with the specific agencies.
ReplyDeleteBetween the Affirmative Action entries, promotions, reassignments, and the lack of competence, willingness to perform the associated required tasks - the taxpayers are footing the bill for waaay tooo much government bloat welfare!
We are in deep do-do!
ReplyDeleteTime to reverse the socialist government.
ReplyDeletePerhaps its because our economy has become more service-based instead? A little economics 101 would do you all wonders. Drink some more cool-aid.
ReplyDeleteYour 100% correct. And the thing is that the government isnt done. Soon it will be a clear divide. The rich,the poor and the government employees.
Delete1:22, Mr. Kool-aid, Our economy can get as serviced based as it needs to be IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR if it could support it.
ReplyDeleteWe really don't need "services" from the government. Not at this rate, anyway. 10% or less will do.
