WALL STREET JOURNAL SAYS MORE GOVERNMENT WORKERS THAN OTHERS -- COMBINED

OPINION: 'More Americans in gov't than in manufacturing, farming, fishing, forestry, mining and utilities -- combined' (Wall Street Journal) -- In an op-ed posted at WSJ.com, Stephen Moore writes: "Today in America there are nearly twice as many people working for the government (22.5 million) than in all of manufacturing (11.5 million). This is an almost exact reversal of the situation in 1960, when there were 15 million workers in manufacturing and 8.7 million collecting a paycheck from the government." He adds that "more Americans work for the government than work in construction, farming, fishing, forestry, manufacturing, mining and utilities combined." http://app.expressemailmarketing.com/get.link?linkid=2756351&subscriberid=143772548&campaignid=740151&linkurl=http%3a%2f%2fonline.wsj.com%2farticle%2fSB10001424052748704050204576219073867182108.html
