" Gallup Poll, L. Morales

"State and local government hiring sustain national picture"

"U.S. nongovernment workers reported worse job creation conditions in September than they have in any month since February. Gallup's Job Creation Index score of +21 among nongovernment workers is down from +23 in August and a high of +25 in April. At the same time, the job creation climate within state and local government became even more positive, helping to sustain U.S. job creation nationally....

(scroll down): "Gallup has also documented that politics are clearly influencing economic perceptions at this point, just over a month before the U.S. presidential election. If either job seekers or employers become more optimistic about the economy and take new action to successfully secure or create jobs, it could help improve the nation's job creation picture. At the same time, if just as many job seekers or employers become more negative or take a wait-and-see attitude before the election, the situation risks remaining stagnant at best." via Hot Air

Ed. note: Even assuming Gallup's "documentation" is true, is it possible state and local government employees are more likely to identify as democrat or leaning democrat? Isn't is also true government employees have more job security and better benefits than private sector workers who can be dismissed at a moment's notice for any reason? In today's world, having a secure government job with good pay and benefits is something quite unique. It's a completely different world in the private sector.
