Any good analysis of the job figures? |
|
Are some of the jobs supposedly created just speculation?

3. I don't have proof but I suspect they are public sector jobs |
|
Which if they are, are most likely due to the insane amount of government spending. Remember govt spending is 18% of the GDP.
Creating public sector jobs due to increased spending is not exactly what I would call impressive especially with all of the private sector jobs lost.
