A Scene From The Job Hunt

I just returned home from an informational meeting where the recruiter for the Minnesota Department of Transportation told everyone present that the state government of Minnesota is the largest employer in the state.

She said it as if it was a good thing.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled reality.

Well, it could be worse: at least the Federal government isn't Minnesota's largest employer....

Here in the People's Commmonwealth, we used to be known as a High Tech area.

Now the largest employment sector in the state is the "service sector", which is mostly funded by tax dollars.

So either state employees or their payroll comes from tax dollars.
