Recession for ye, not for me.

Newsweek:

"A Shining Anomaly on a Hill
The increase in government jobs—courtesy of stimulus planning and spending—is turning Washington, D.C., into a boomtown."

Created or saved, baby:

"Since October 2008, the D.C. metro area, with a population hovering around 6 million, has cut slightly more than 23,000 jobs (roughly 0.4 percent of the population), half as many as the metro area of the next closest city, Seattle, which cut 50,000 jobs (about 1.4 percent), and one ninth of New York's 220,000 (about 1.1 percent)."

Gotta love the headline too. The editors at Newsweek just can't help themselves.
