Not all jobs are created equal,

Not all jobs are created equal. The government could hire every
unemployed person in the US tomorrow for $25 per hour and end most of
the unemployment in the US would disappear. I say “most” because some
people would still refuse to “work”.

But a “government” job tends to be a bureaucratic job that does not
grow jobs in the private sector – in fact these jobs destroy private
sector jobs on average. On the other hand, a private manufacturing
job generally can result in products being exported outside the US.
These jobs can create and reduces our balance of payments and create
other indirect private sector jobs.

So don’t trust the creation of government job s – these jobs destroy
more jobs than they create – more bureaucrats than doers.
