Explain why growth levels of public expenditures are more than twice as large as growth levels in public employment.
What will be an ideal response?
Differences in the pattern of change are largely due to the raise in transfer programs.

Further, purchases of goods and services from the private sector require large expenditures but almost no public employment.
