From the New York Times: proof that Government is where it&#39;s at if you&#39;re looking for job security.&lt;p&gt;&quot;While the private sector has shed 6.9 million jobs since the beginning of the recession, state and local governments have expanded their payrolls and added 110,000 jobs, according to a report to be issued Thursday by the Nelson A. Rockefeller Institute of Government.&quot; &lt;p&gt;It&#39;s not exactly a surprise that government hiring has held up through the recession; it&#39;s done so through &lt;i&gt;every&lt;/i&gt; recession.

Given that economists are telling us that the current one—which started in December 2007—is all but over, the smart money is on a new one rolling around anywhere between 2011 and 2017. My advice: if you want to remain employed through it, start looking for government work now!&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;--Posted by Phil Stott, Vault Staff Writer&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;
