Do you think that graph refers only to actual government workers, or includes contractors?

As I was trying to point out to Mish, contractors actually save the taxpayer money because they can be laid off when the job/project is done. If the gov't is forced to hire on additional staff via their normal hiring process, we're then talking about Cadillac health care plans and union membership. And once they come onto the payroll of any particular agency, it's almost impossible to fire them.
