Waiting for Recovery: US Public Schools Shed Jobs

Reuters reports:

Since the peak in local public school employment in July 2008, about 361,000 jobs in the sector have been eliminated, roughly half of the 725,000 government jobs lost overall in the same period, Bureau of Labor Statistics data show. The losses are continuing, with 4,500 local government education jobs shed in the first two months of this year compared with 412,000 private-sector jobs created.

Yet, Barack Obama wants the federal government to subsidize more people to go to college to become teachers!
