Taxpayers funding more and more public service jobs is not economic ‘recovery’

Public sector employment has grown by 1.3 million since the start of the pandemic

The number of public sector jobs has increased by 1.3 million since the start of the pandemic, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. This growth has been driven by increased hiring in state and local governments, as well as in the federal government. The increase in public sector employment has been a major factor in the economic recovery from the pandemic, as it has helped to boost consumer spending and create new jobs in the private sector.

However, some economists argue that the growth in public sector employment is not a sign of economic recovery, but rather a sign of government overspending. They argue that the government is creating jobs that are not needed and that are not sustainable in the long term.

Supporters of the growth in public sector employment argue that it is necessary to provide essential services to the public and to create jobs in communities that have been hit hard by the pandemic. They argue that the government is investing in its people and its future by creating these jobs.

The debate over the role of government in the economy is likely to continue as the pandemic continues.

The debate over the role of government in the economy is likely to continue as the pandemic continues. Some economists argue that the government should play a more active role in the economy, while others argue that the government should take a more hands-off approach.

The following are some of the key arguments in favor of a more active role for government in the economy:

• Government can provide essential services that the private sector cannot or will not provide
• Government can create jobs and boost economic growth
• Government can regulate the economy to protect consumers and the environment

The following are some of the key arguments in favor of a more hands-off approach to government in the economy:

• Government is inefficient and wasteful
• Government can stifle economic growth by raising taxes and regulations
• Government can infringe on individual liberty
