Cities Begin Hiring Again

[Sallow]

About time!

Cities across the U.S. are starting to hire new teachers, firefighters and police officers as a deep and prolonged slide in local-government employment appears to have bottomed out four years after the recession ended.

Municipal police academies in Massachusetts are running at capacity as communities train new officers, while Minneapolis recently added nearly two dozen firefighters, ending a five-year hiring freeze. The school district for Clark County, Nev., which includes Las Vegas, is hiring 700 new teachers this year, the first sizable boost in its workforce in five years.

The question remains if this is nessasary due to demand, or due to archaic work rules and union desire to pad thier numbers.

Great just what we need more hacks on the payroll.

If what's going on in Clark County is any indication, it would appear that it's a bit of both.

I did a search on the Las Vegas Sun site, and the only reference I found was when the police and firefighter hiring freeze was instituted last year. The budget cuts in North Las Vegas didn't help and that city had to trim more, and extend their hiring freeze.

Which one of George Soros' mouthpieces did this good news come from?

Untrue.

Of course it's necessary.

Funny..how many threads are there about murders in Chicago?

As far as I'm aware Katz, teachers are being hired here in Las Vegas but from talking to some friends that work in the school system, there are a lot of hires going to where they aren't really needed and some areas aren't getting teachers that they need. Anecdotal evidence of course but it all sounded plausible to me.

Are they hiring in Detroit?

 

[Katzndogz]

Minneapolis isn't hiring additional staff at all. They are holding the line by hiring firefighters to replace retirees.

Minneapolis Fire Department set to beef up staff | kare11.com

In an interview last summer Fire Chief John Fruetel said 150 current firefighters could retire in the next five years, that is nearly 40 percent of the current department staff.

What that means is, these hires aren't necessarily just adding staff, they are holding the line.

Are they hiring in Detroit?

Yeah if you're a bankruptcy lawyer or a demolition expert.

Whenever a liberal makes a statement, verify it yourself. Most of the time it isn't true.

Dont you know the police are not required to protect you?

A man who was brutally stabbed by Brooklyn subway slasher Maksim Gelman two years ago had his negligence case against the city dismissed in court yesterday, despite the fact that two transit officers had locked themselves in a motorman’s car only a few feet from him at the time of the attack.

And the typical liberal mindset. Spend more $$ throw more bodies at a problem instead of looking at the actual causes, because the actual causes are not "PC"

You guys take the same approach with education. throw money at it and its BOUND to work.

I just read that the city can't even afford to pay for demolition so vacant, decaying, looted houses will stand.

Hire a cop.. fire a civil servant paper pusher...

The transit officers were practicing the NYC version of Stand Your Ground.

What a load of crap.

Point to point policing which has included "stop and frisk" has had a big impact on crime in NYC.

And hiring people isn't "throwing money" at the problem.

But of course you guys wouldn't know that..since you have no fucking solutions to anything, save "you're on your own" and "die quickly".

Since His First Day in Office Barack Obama Has Hired 101 New Federal Employees on Average Each Day | The Gateway Pundit

Since Barack Hussein Obama took the oath of office in January 2009 he has created on average 101 new federal employees each day.
Andrew Malcolm at Investor’s Business Daily reported:


You may have noticed some economic difficulties across the country in recent years among family, friends, neighbors, colleagues. One sector is doing quite nicely, however, under Barack Hussein Obama.

In the 1,420 days since he took the oath of office, the federal government has daily hired on average 101 new employees. Every day. Seven days a week. All 202 weeks. That makes 143,000 more federal workers than when Obama talked forever on that cold day in January of 2009.

Under Obama the total federal workforce has surpassed two million for the first time since the first Clinton term, now sitting about the 2.2 ,million level.

Federal workers have been awarded bigger average pay and benefit increases than private employees for nine years in a row. The compensation gap between federal and private workers has doubled in the past decade.
