Budget Projects Job Growth

The White House’s budget proposal for fiscal 2009 projects continued job growth for federal employees. It says that since 2001 when the Bush administration took office, federal employment will be up by about 10 percent next year. Much of that increase has been in security and law enforcement-related jobs.
