- The number of civilian unemployed was reported as 7,651,000 in the report issued for June, 2005.
- The same report for June, 2010 reported 14,623,000 as unemployed.
- About 7,000,000 additional Americans lost their job during this period
- The number of persons employed by The Government in June, 2005 was 21,763,000.
- The June, 2010 report showed that the Government was employing 22,770,000.
- The number employed by the Government during this period actually rose by a million.
I think that is safe to assume that only a tiny fraction of Government employees lost their job, and net net there are a million more individuals employed by Government
The following graph shows the trend of employment for all Government employees.
