figures are for 2009
total UK employment - 28,876,000
public sector - 6,070,000
private sector - 22,806,000
21% of employment is public sector. knocking off 600,000 jobs will reduce public sector by 10% but if you go into any public sector thing it's very easy to find people who are paid to do nothing so it won't affect services however much the unions make a fuss.
