101: Government Jobs Now Outnumber Manufacturing Jobs by a Wide
Margin
By Joshua Krause
According to data published by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics, government jobs now outnumber manufacturing jobs by
nearly 1.8 to 1. Almost 22,000,000 people work for local, state, and
federal agencies, compared to 12,329,000 workers in the manufacturing
sector. Manufacturing employment
hasn’t been this low since before World War Two, and since 1989 when
these two numbers were equal, our government has gained 4 million
employees while manufacturing has lost 5.5 million.
In 1941, nearly one of ten Americans worked in
the manufacturing sector compared to 1 and 26 today. In that same time
period, the ratio of government workers has grown from 1 in 27.7 to 1 in
14.6 today. However, if you took a closer look at the recent growth of
government jobs, you might be fooled into thinking that our government
is actually diminishing.
