When I think about all the truly public services we should have and the level of service that should be available, it makes me think that the public sector should be the largest single employer at every level. Sure, maybe you end up with an auto factory or an Amazon warehouse in a specific location, but on average, there should be more public works employees, bus drivers, nurses, care workers, and policy experts than pretty much any other single industry sector. And probably by a large margin.
