Raw data: Federal government workers

Published on 7 Comments on Raw data: Federal government workers

Here's the percentage of the workforce employed by the federal government:

It dropped from 3.5% of the total workforce in 1955 to 1.4% of the workforce at the end of 1999. Since January 2000 it's increased from 1.44% to 1.49%. Aside from the decennial census blips, employment generally goes up during and after recessions and declines during good economic times.

NOTE: This is the civilian workforce. It excludes postal workers and the military. It also doesn't account for outsourcing of jobs to contract employees.

    Just proof of how the productivity of govt workers has increased over the last 60 years. (says retired govt bureaucrat).

    Seriously, I haven't seen any historical figures on the rise of contractors. Anyone know of any?
