I'd say it is, not just because it acts to enforce and not just because without the monies it collects the government could not operate. If employing civil servants to take money from people is government then so is employing civil servants to give money to the unemployed. > it operates very differently from an employment agency (the difference in > the name is not incidental) > The day I can claim unemployment benefits from employment agencies is the day I look very carefully at which of them is going to give me the most money before I choose to sign up with one. > and I think that should be stated or even differentiated in the wiki. > I think we got deflected by considering Jobcentres (or whatever they're called elsewhere) to be employment agencies. That is only part of what they do. Nevertheless, office=government + government=employment_agency may be as close as we're going to get without many weeks of arguments on the list. -- Paul
