No recovery for U.S. government workers

This article discusses the "recovery" in the job market for U.S. Government workers. Federal government jobs fell by 4,200 in February, the fifth month in a row those jobs have been zapped from the economy. And, thanks to the automatic budget cuts, it's going to get worse. A total of 33,000 federal worker jobs have been lost since January 2012. This seems to be contrary to the recent report of the U.S. having the lowest unemployment rate since 2008. For the moment, maybe the fed isn't place to be looking for jobs.
