A couple of days ago I heard a winger claim that about 50% of all jobs were with the government. That's very wrong. Data from BLS, in thousands.
TOTAL PRIVATE EMPLOYEES APRIL 2010 107,584
TOTAL FEDERAL EMPLOYEES APRIL 2010 2,998 (includes the armed forces)
TOTAL STATE EMPLOYEES APRIL 2010 5,169
TOTAL LOCAL EMPLOYEES APRIL 2010 14,421
TOTAL EMPLOYED 130, 172
TOTAL GOVERNMENT 22, 588
PERCENT IN GOVERNMENT 17.35%
