Bottom line spoiler: A job-search Web site, juju.com, used Bureau of Labor Statistics numbers to pick the 10 best cities to find a job today. Number one? Washington, D.C. And what’s the number one industry in the district? If you guessed “adultery and low-rent corruption,” you’re close.
D.C. is ground zero of government, and when federal spending jumps by a one-year record of 6 percent - $3.2 trillion total - prosperity is certain to follow.
It’s probably no coincidence that six of the top 10 cities are capitals. From Utah to Connecticut, government is where the economic action is.
The fact is, there is a recovery under way and no, we taxpaying private-sector workers were not left out. We get to pay for it.http://bostonherald.com/news/opinion/op_ed/view/20100902recovery_unaffordable_public_sector_livin_ high_on_the_hog/
