Partnership for Public Service
From the document: "The federal government currently employs over 2 million people who deliver a wide range of essential services to the American public. These professionals play a crucial role in protecting our national security, promoting public health, driving economic development and more. Nonpartisan civil servants are hired based on merit to serve under other nonpartisan civil servants and political appointees. Political appointees set policy and directives, and civil servants carry out duties to fulfill those objectives, regardless of the political party in power and their own political views. Their unwavering commitment to the nation is evident in their diligent efforts to implement policies and provide services nationwide. They are a fundamental part of a well-functioning government.
The Partnership for Public Service analyzed data from the Office of Personnel Management’s online data source, FedScope, to highlight the various aspects of the federal workforce, including employment demographics, hiring trends and other statistics. With this data, members of the public, federal stakeholders, the media and others can gain insights into the composition, size and dynamics of federal employment trends. The data also enables federal leaders to make informed decisions and develop policies related to the federal workforce."
