interesting manipulation.....did you notice the difference in scale between the two charts.......the entire chart of public employment ranges over a 1,000 scale....the same as only one tick on the private employment chart......thus the "drop" in public employment shown for the entire period is only one third of the drop demonstrated in the first six month period on the private employment chart......this make me wonder which liberal think tank prepared your charts......

The liberal think tank that prepared my charts is the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.

I assumed, wrongly I guess, that people know how to read charts and were aware that public sector employment is quite a bit smaller than private sector employment.

how about providing a link to where you found it and we will see......

you also assumed wrongly that public sector unemployment was worse than private sector unemployment.....I see you aren't admitting that yet......

No, I don't. Why don't you quote what you think I wrote that was either misleading or a misrepresentation? I have no idea what you're talking about.

So what you end up with is the private sector doing OK, not great, and the public sector tanking

in reality, the private sector is doing three times worse than the public sector.......as is shown by the data, though not the graph, you presented......
