TideGlider and threaders, has anyone seen any calculation of the percentage of public sector jobs cut in relation the total unemployment 8.2% figure. I was wondering whether a large part of the unemployment percent was created by the lay off of public employees (education, state, county and local employees). Has anyone seen such a figure? If Romney is elected will he re-employee many of the public employees, and implement a massive infrastructure building project. In the public an private sectors it appears that the high skill sets and trade skills are the areas of engineering, robotics, computer information technology and have displaced many unskilled workers. Plus, it appears we do not have enough individuals in the US to fill all these high skilled positions. That leaves healthcare, energy, education (college and trade) and infrastructure positions to fill the void.
