Fred,
I couldn’t agree with you more. Let us stick with what the author has given us in the article. What I see is an author who is specifically talking about two types of employees in the TSA: 1) Federal Air Marshals (1801 Series); and 2) Transportation Security Officers [screeners] (1802 Series).
Now correctly if I’m wrong, but I don’t see anywhere in the article where the author is discussing food service laborers, Hospitality and Leisure laborers, Real Estate, Natural Resources and Mining, and “Professional Business Services” — only you seem to be talking about that.
The article is specifically referring to a particular area of Federal Law Enforcement within the TSA. The article is specifically talking about how much it costs to train these TSA law enforcement officers, and the article is specifically talking about how many of these TSA law enforcement officers have quit.
Why would you want to compare these TSA law enforcement officers with the people who served you the macaroni & cheese at your government cafeteria today?
This is Logic 101.
