While the press cheers on every sign of private sector job creation, little attention is being paid to public sector job destruction.
As the Economic Policy Institute reports, while there has been an increase of some 2.8 million private sector jobs since June 2009,
public sector employment (federal, state, and local governments combined) has actually fallen by approximately 600,000.
This is a very unusual development as the figure below reveals.

And 2/3 of those 600,000+ jobs were held by women.

I know a number of teachers who will be unemployed in the Fall regardless of talent.

If a shitstorm develops over this, please begin the shitstorm in a more appropriate thread, so we don't hijack this one. I thought I'd seen a Trayvon Martin Shooting thread, and would have posted it there, but, I couldn't find it.

I didn't make this, I didn't even go looking for it. And I've lost the link.

I did find it interesting, even if I don't completely understand the numbers:
