Interesting. I wonder if there is a way to tie this back to education levels in each sector. To answer the question: does college education make a difference in your job prospects, by sector.

Are Construction and Manufacturing on the same subplot for comparison? (also to make the grid an even 3x4)?

Fair questions all. This uses BLS categorizations, so some odd groupings. Construction/manu were combined just to include manufacturing and, yes, preserve the grid. The orange is mostly just to differentiate manu and fed employees (as it plunges past the other categories).

Santa Claus is more real than Chump’s and the hillbilly’s “analysis”.

Is that good

Great data viz overall but I think I'm missing why “manufacturing” gets special treatment on the “construction” sub-graph? Would appreciate a scrap of explanation...

Y’all gonna feel this

Ok that’s a good chart

Also ripple effects from all the fed/public sector cuts. The implementers of USAID projects and the like.

I'm impressed by the jobs going down as demand goes down (and I suppose, demand goes down as jobs go down, on into deeper recession). Also impressed with "Ninety-two of every 100 jobs added since January have been in the education and health care sector." Good piece, thanks.

Many of my neighbors in NOVA. NIH, USAID, IRS, DOJ, no such agency. No sane institution anywhere in the world would willingly decapitate its own workforce. Donalda bin Laden convincing his adherents to suicide bomb our government.

I think that it has breached the next post down as well
