What does the total number include? County, city and all state workers? Parks, police and meter readers?

The government can make jobs, but they are paid with your tax dollars instead of from Company profits.

Why is it then all of this “occupy wall street” stuff circulates about corporations when the numbers prove that the largest employer in the world is the US government?
Architects and Engineers for 9/11 have proved something. That there are more unanswered questions about WTC7 collapse than ever before.
