99% of Jobcenters in Germany are tagged as office=employment_agency, so 
currently the distinction you point out does not exist.

Should we tag the government ones with amenity=jobcentre in addition? 
But as Martin pointed out this might be a brand name in Germany and the UK.

Or should there be a subtag, like employment_agency(:tpye)=public, 
private? Looking at Wikipedia this seems like the better idea. In 
addition there is also the operator= tag.
