Do you think private employment will be able to pick up the difference? The salaries for many of these workers have been very high because of rising property values. Not only are layoffs rising but the salaries are being cut.

Unexpected shocks drive down employment and Government policies slow the job creation process. <br /><br />Advances in technology have tended to increase employment over time.
