Those bloated gov numbers will look downright sparse if Obama has his way. >Government The federal government, which employs more than 1.8 million civilian employees (except for the U.S. Postal Service), has added 46,000 jobs so far this year. At the state level, 32,000 new jobs were added; the local government, which added 88,000 jobs from January to August 2008, remains the strongest sector of the industry. While government staffing levels are often subject to budget and administration changes, there will be a growth in specialized areas related to border and transportation security, emergency preparedness, public health and information analysis.<
