Spain has more than 60,000 more publc sector employees than in 2007
Quote:
The number of public employees in September stood at a total of 2.99 million, thus lowering the threshold of 3 million for the first time since the third quarter of 2008. Nevertheless, the Spanish public sector still has to this day with more than 59,800 employees at the beginning of the crisis, as in the third quarter of 2007 they numbered 2,931,900 workers.
The LAST thing America needs is to increase public sector employment.

Yes. And we don't want to be Spain because all of the street signs are in Spanish. That and Purtugal. France and Andorra would be right next to us. And their football is boring and there's hardly any hockey.

You forgot one thing wistah...
You forgot to say that you agree that we don't want MORE public sector workers!

And your gripe is???
In the last 3 years there has been a record decrease in the number of public sector jobs.
Quote:
notable aspect of the July employment report is the decline in public-sector employment. In fact, public-sector employment (i.e. federal, state, and local government jobs) declined in 10 of the past 12 months, in sharp contrast to 29 consecutive months of private-sector job growth. Indeed, falling public employment has been among the largest contributors to unemployment in the United States since the end of the Great Recession.
You forgot to say that you agree that we don't want MORE public sector workers!
But I could tell you agree.
Mrs PFinV has shown a graph. THe trend is the opposite of your imaginary fears. The US is not Spain or Greece. All such comparisons are moot. That was my point.

I am well aware of the trend in the US and like you & Mrs P, I'm very grateful for it.
I posted this thread for all the dopes that want to INCREASE the number of public sector workers. Not you guys.....
So we're at 9% public sector and falling like a stone.
Spain's at 2.9 million out of a total population of 48 million, or 6% of population.
The only thing you could conclude is that if our public sector employment continues to decrease, we'll be in the same boat as spain. Doesn't sound good.

The Patriots have been overachievers the past two years. It doesn't have the talent to compensate for injuries, and it wins so much because it puts in 99% effort in the regular season and plays with terrific schemes to mask its deficiencies.
But in the playoffs a good team at 99% will not beat emotional, talented teams that play at 100%. It's what happened against the Giants in 2011 and the Ravens in 2012.
I don't think anybody's "grateful" for it who has a shred of sense left. The loss of a few hundred thousand jobs is incredibly bad for demand which is the main drag on the economy, and is incredibly bad for towns and cities which need more teacher, firefighters, cops, sanitation workers, etc., than they're being permitted to keep.
Tonight's news -- in Florida they had hours-long lines for early voting, and then locked the building's doors on voters. It's intentional, it's brazen, and it's wrong. It's happening in Ohio too: discourage voting, because more early voting is bad for pubbies.
No wonder. Their policy prescriptions are so repugnant that if they didn't try to carve off a few percentage points by misdirecting, intimidating, and just plain locking out the voters, they wouldn't stand a chance.
As it stands, we have a very close election. I wonder what it would be like if we weren't working so hard to keep the voters from the polls.
