Two Economies: Government Workers Optimistic, Private Sector Not
Government employees are much more bullish about the economy than those
who work in the private sector. That’s a big change from the beginning
of the year when those on the public payroll were a bit more
pessimistic than private sector workers.
Data from the Rasmussen Consumer Index from
the past seven days shows that a plurality of government workers think
the economy is getting better while those who work in the private
sector tend to have the opposite view. Those in the government sector
are also more upbeat about the current state of the economy and their
own personal finances.
Today, 46% of government employees say the economy is getting better
while just 31% say it’s getting worse. Among those who work in the
private sector, the numbers are reversed: 32% say better and 49% worse.
