>down from 2009 to 2011.By less than one percent. That's a rounding error. Yes. But the population grew, and the unemployment rate went down. And public employment almost always grows -- it's very notable when it shrinks. >What about all the "stimulus money" that went to the states? That increase in spending doesn't count?
