actually every month "gov." has been shedding jobs, 39K last month....now these could be also from attrition etc. but payrolls have been dropping.
Government employment fell by 39,000, the eighth drop in a row, following declines in all levels of government struggling to close budget gaps.

Well, I would have to disagree with your point in this way, number of bureaucrats (most of those who lost there jobs being low paid "clerks" anyway) does not in my book equal smaller government. In my opinion, and I may be wrong here, the government size is based upon budget and control of our lives. The government is getting bigger in my way of thinking not smaller.

How do you explain 500,000 fewer government workers under Obama?
You sure about that number. That would be one huge change in one year....
Largest-ever federal payroll to hit 2.15 million - Washington TimesThe Obama administration says the government will grow to 2.15 million employees this year, topping 2 million for the first time since President Clinton declared that the era of big government is over and joined forces with a Republican-led Congress in the 1990s to pare back the federal work force.
