Government employment continued to trend up in January (+36,000), below the average monthly gain
of 57,000 in 2023. A job gain occurred in federal government (+11,000), and employment continued to
trend up in local government. This is just for ONE MONTH, the problem being Government jobs NEVER go away. Month after month the Government is creating thousands of most likely pointless jobs that will produce nothing except to further bloat the Government payroll.
