Well now what's the usual ratio of government workers to private sector workers overall...?LowIQTrash » 05 Jul 2024, 10:27 pm » wrote: ↑ I’m surprised @Blackvegetable hasn’t proffered this argument so I might as well.
The average American peon is overworked, overtaxed, and spends the bulk of his or her time rotating among eating, ****, commuting, working, **** on the webs, household chores, and doing otherwise meaningless and mind-**** tedious tasks.
If it so happens they end up working in GUBMINT jobs, which on average are less stressful and burdensome (workload wise) than private sector jobs, who cares?
Is the economy that much better if they go from pushing papers in some gubmint office position to working at restaurants, bookstores, hotels, auto centers, etc. within our otherwise glorious “service economy?”
Are any of those service jobs in a GROWTH sector, or are they all SATURATED?
All the manufacturing jobs are outsourced, white collar jobs are under heavy competition from outsourcing (which can be done easily by using remote-centered recruitment agencies for Filipinos, Polacks, and anyone else willing to work for 20-50% of standard American wages) and insourcing (H1B), and while there are pockets of demand in certain areas, there is no “tide is lifting all boats” right now.
I’m still very much AGAINST the narrative the economy is doing well (LOOK AT THE YIELD CURVE) - but complaining about gubmint jobs being all the jobs created is nonsense.
No way could it be close to the 25% of new jobs claimed here
I would guess it takes no more than 2 government workers per 100 private sector workers to keep the lights on , the free meals for the ****** and the SS checks flowing...?
Then I looked it up....List of countries by public sector size - Wikipedia
ratio of government employees to population - Search (bing.com)
There are who knows how many government offices I have visited where they have 2 low performance Affirmative Action ****** doing the work of 1 much better qualified, friendly, dependable, much less smelly and more efficient White Person....
