Rockefeller Institute of Government: State & Local Government Jobs Continue to Decline in Most States


Link to February 17, 2012 Data Alert.

Homepage summary. While the private sector is starting to report employment gains, state and local governments continued to reduce jobs over the last year. State governments had 76,000 fewer jobs in January 2012 than a year ago, while local governments had 163,000 fewer jobs. Since the start of the Great Recession, however, private-sector job losses are double those in the public sector.
