Growth in Regulatory Jobs

I just heard Cass Sunstein on Obamaâ??s attempt to trim unnecessary rules and reduce the burden on the private sector.  Yet hereâ??s a fact: over the past year, employment at federal regulatory agencies has grown by more than 5%. By comparison, private sector jobs only rose by about 1.5% over the same period. That suggests regulatory intensity is still rising, even as the recovery lags.
