welshTerrier2 makes a great point about the new jobs created in February

DU's own welshterrier2 said in another thread...
"Republicans love to talk about reducing the size of government ... guess where all 21,000 jobs were created last month... maybe this fact could convince a few moderate republicans to vote democratic this year"

and then he links to the Boston Globe who says...

1. Where, exactly, where those jobs created in the gov't
is there anyway to find out which gov't sector those jobs were made in? Or is "government" as detailed as it gets.
