November numbers. Note that while private non-farm payroll decreased by 533,000 jobs government grew by 7,000 jobs. That is sickening to one who pays as much in federal, state and local taxes as I do and knows that every penny spent by government is at the expense of the private individual. Why is it that the only time government gets smaller is when liberals cut the military? Maybe now you understand why I believe in limited government, not no government, but limited government focused on those activities that the Founding Fathers intended. And they didn't intend for entitlement programs, wasteful earmarks to buy votes, bailouts for private companies and on and on.
Total change in non-farm payroll = - 533,000
* Private Sector = - 540,000
o Natural Resources & Mining = + 4,000
o Construction = - 82,000
o Manufacturing = - 85,000
+ Durable goods = - 62,000
+ Non-durable goods = - 23,000
o Services = - 370,000
+ Wholesale Trade = - 25,200
+ Retail Trade = - 91,300
+ Transportation = - 31,500
+ Utilities = + 800
+ Information & Media = -19,000
+ Financial Svcs & Real Estate = - 32,000
+ Professional & Business Svcs = - 136,000
+ Education = + 9,800
+ Health Svcs = + 42,500
+ Leisure = - 76,000
* Government = +7,000
