Though that might be one reason why those two things, government jobs and union jobs, have been under such fierce attack. Hard to say.

I've been lucky to mostly have jobs outside of service jobs like this that require "extras". I think I'd be in jail by now if I'd had to be luscious and pliable to be thought of as employable!
