Methinks it is apples and oranges but I can't figure out exactly why. Went to BLS and the author's numbers are correct and his math is correct. And yet BLS does not show the net increase in govt jobs in the report Archie referenced. According to the total employment numbers from June govt jobs did indeed account for 73% of the total change since June. But that does not jibe with the numbers Archie found at BLS that describes the change on a month by month basis.
Archie gets partial credit for stumping me on this apparent contradiction. If the BLS total employment numbers represent something other than what they seem to be then Archie will have proven that in fact even a blind squirrel does find an acorn every now and then. If the author and my interpretation of the numbers end up being wrong then Archie has something else to crow about.....oh wait a second, he has already crowed even though he has not explained the discrepancy between the numbers, just found ones he likes and says they are more true.
No more time to sort this out today as I have to get my house ready for my office Christmas party. And yes, it is a Christmas party and everyone is invited, Jews, Muslims, agnostics, atheists, Mormans, etc., but it is still a Christmas party. Oh sorry, I forgot Kwanza.....
