In the interests of cheerfulness, I'll leave the term "interesting" unqualified. :o)

Does government payroll include contractors? If so, then the it's hard to interpret this data since a lot of manufacturing jobs have been supported by Dept. of Defense, and the large number of contractors doing govt. business (which is a weird way of returning tax dollars right back to local communities) may also mirror the increase in service sector jobs.

I *believe* the BLS data here is strictly employees, not contractors. So my Dad, for example, is not in this chart.
I would be, however, as a JuCo guy.
And there'll be more of us, now that we're turning into High School, the Real Part (tm).
So this includes state and city workers as well?
It's from Bureau of Labor Statistics, but I don't know which dataset.
I'm assuming it would need to, if it covers the other category...
