If you control for everything you can think to control for, women earn 91 cents for every dollar men earn: http://wapo.st/KK6fBb
-some don't count public sector jobs (John Boehner comes to mind), even though these folks pay taxes and buy things, which normally would be seen as stimulative.
The public sector isn't fine, in one graph: http://wapo.st/Ldwn4I
If public sector hadn't lost any jobs since Feb 09, unemployment would be 7.8%. http://wapo.st/Ldwn4I
If public sector jobs had grown at the same rate they did under Bush, unemployment would be 7.3 percent. http://wapo.st/Ldwn4I
And public sector unemployment is a problem that politicians can actually solve. http://wapo.st/Ldwn4I
