In TEXAS, what's the ratio of Government Employees to Private Sector Employees?

'The Week' magazine reports that it's One of every SIX residents. Can this be true?

If so, does this mean that a "president' Rick Perry will INCREASE the size of the Federal Government - - as much as George W. Bush did?

NOTE: Bush Junior increased the size of the Federal Government by THRITY PERCENT!

(That's the 'Small Government' Bush.)

Thanks!

    We find that public sector employment increased 6.4% which was 140,000 jobs.

    2.2 million or so workers work for the government in Texas-

    the Texas workforce is 1q2.2 million- so about 1/6 work for the government there.

    It would appear that seems to be some very accurate reporting, so we know one thing is true........

    It can't be from a Republican source.
