Does it include public school employees? Does it include community organizers, poverty workers, etc. paid by organizations with government grants? Does it includes health care workers paid with taxpayer money given to patients?
I suspect the real number is much higher.
One of the reasons I left the county I lived in until recently is that the five largest employers there are government or quasi-government organizations. What few private employers there are, are mostly involved in service businesses. Nobody actually makes anything. That’s not a formula for economic growth.
EBTs are payments. Period. The parasites are on the payroll, even though very little is expected of them. They still get paid! They ARE govt employees.
Is there a farm in Baltimore? Are there any farm jobs there? What a meaningless statement.
And how many jobs are from Serving Government, or government supported?
....and whats the problem?....
Stay in school, go to church, get a job, go to college and then apply for one those ‘government jobs’...
I’m sure bambaboy would make sure you got hired!
If I were King, government jobs would only be 5 percent across the land!
The King would govern with a light touch, allowing his subjects to produce and live out their dreams.
(What, you think the King can control 320 million people?)
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
5% should be the number or less. At 20% it is no wonder the city is dead.
Related. I have some very “lib” inlaws.
One of them is working on a PhD in economics/anthropology/sociology,
and his dissertation has determined that the “solution” to all social ills and poverty is “jobs”.
It’s pretty obvious where he thinks the “jobs” should come from, regardless of whether the economy needs those jobs done.
