🚨Incoming THREAD🚨 on changes in NJ State Government staffing levels from 2008 through 2017 per the 2017 NJ Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR - pg. 370)...if you had to guess whether NJ's workforce grew or shrank, which would it be? #mathisreal state.nj.us/treasury/omb/p…
Some of the big 👀 popping numbers:
Dept of Health's workforce is down 46% since 2008 from 1,978 to 1,074. So about 900 fewer workers. Think that might have an impact on health inspections & whatnot?

Dept of Human Services, which is responsible for a whole lot w/ regard to the safety net & delivery of critical programs, dropped from 15,684 in 2008 to 11,306 in 2017 for a reduction of 23% - or 4,300ish. Think that might make it tougher to have an efficient welfare system?

2/ First, he repeated his line that the "average median" family in #IL06 earns $135K/year. This is wrong in three really important ways. roskam.house.gov/media-center/p…
3/ (a) The average family in #IL06 earns $125K. (b) The median family in #IL06 earns $97K. (c) "average median" isn't a thing. census.gov/mycd/?st=17&cd… #factsmatter #mathisreal
