@_cingraham @JesseCharlesLee Curious: What accounts for the spike every ten years (1970, 1980, 1990)? Census data collection?

@CarlRobichaud @JesseCharlesLee yes - hiring of temp workers for census

@_cingraham @chayesmatthew How does a chart about the SHARE of fed wkforce/total wkforce disprove a claim abt expanded SIZE of fed wkforce?

@jriley8832 @_cingraham the share-of-total-workforce metric is pretty much the universally accepted economists use to gauge the size

@chayesmatthew @_cingraham But its not the metric the person being denounced as a unequivocal liar verbalized, is it?

@jriley8832 @_cingraham I'll give you not-equivocally-false if you give me misleading-to-the-point-of-inaccurate.

@chayesmatthew @_cingraham Look at the link I just sent. If its true a 10% jump under O + 17% under Bush = dramatic expansion.

.@_cingraham That's as a percentage of non-farm total workforce. Is it true or false on a total headcount basis?

.@PowerzMatt @_cingraham Looks like a marginal increase toward the end of that graph. Interesting either way.

@ahess247 @PowerzMatt @_cingraham In a sense irrelevant. Key is number of contractors. Many gov employees simply supervise contracts

@EthonRaptor @ahess247 @_cingraham right - haven't come across a reliable estimate for those

@PowerzMatt @EthonRaptor @ahess247 @_cingraham any way to exclude military from that graph?

@_cingraham @felixsalmon Curious about those spikes at the beginning of each decade. What's the cause?

@_cingraham @carlquintanilla BS..washington post is #FakeNews and discredited.. Where is the source of this garbage?

@neilahrendt @Zazusays *Crickets*

@DVSWhatItTweets @neilahrendt @Zazusays LOL!

@Burger_Buzz @DVSWhatItTweets @neilahrendt guys didn’t see that…but you don’t understand how the BLS and the Fed skews stats regardless.

@Zazusays @Burger_Buzz @DVSWhatItTweets @neilahrendt So everything is a lie if it doesn't prove your point. Awesome way to live your life.
