Hey, a Bok cartoon that I found comprehensible! Alright!

Yes, this one works.
Reinmoose 18 years ago

Right, I agree.

It's also sadly depressing

I don't know what it is, but I'm drawn to the way the C and the O are spooning there in the cartoon's text. And the text itself is funny, too.

Does anyone have a link to information about the government being the second largest employer in the country?

Does anyone have a link to information about the government being the second largest employer in the country?

By the BLS health care is the largest employer with 14 million jobs.

According to the census pdf the federal govt has a little under 14 million employees. (civilian employees, does not appear to include military or anyone in DHS)

However according to this there are roughly 20-21 million total employees at all levels of government.

Nonetheless, this was much better than the past few weeks of cartoons.
Kolohe 18 years ago

Whoops, that should be approx 2.5 million federal civilian employees. I looked at the wrong column

I had to look twice because the cartoon has it spelled county...NOT country.

Is it a typo or did he really mean local government?

A flying and gentle sparrow.

When the last
lights of a sunrise
disappear behind
a melody I hear
the song of
a beautiful sparrow,
the sound of a
rank and the rising
beginning now
reflecting the pain.
