But I do know this: that the two and a half years that I've been at HUD, I am absolutely convinced that some of the best workers in the world are in Federal Government.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Everyone knows that a federal job is a lifetime job, and for many in Congress, it seems they have a lifetime job, too.
Government workers often get a bad rap, but it's rare for them to receive much appreciation when government works.
Some government workers are dedicated and work hard, but most of them are just waiting to retire.
The public sector certainly includes the Department of Labor. Those are jobs that are available. They are open and they are good paying jobs. The government as a whole has been actually retrenching under President Clinton's leadership.
Individuals usually do a better job than the government.
But the real growth I must say in terms of the public sector for the Labor Department is really at state and local levels. That's where the real opportunities are today.
It's a wonderful feeling to work in a country where the government's first concern is for its people, for all its people.
We have never yet had a labor Government that knew what taking power really means; they always act like second-class citizens.
People create jobs, not the government.
I am the Federal Government.
