The % growth in government workers is larger now than any time since the 2001 crash.

Notice too that the Gov't hiring rate tends to spike as the economy reaches "full employment". This appears to be a leading indicator of recession & hard times since the government is still hiring while the private sector responds to market forces and begins to think about halting or even trimming down.
