How many federal employees live in your state?

The federal workforce consists of roughly 3 million employees distributed throughout the United States. Individuals holding these jobs are hired and discharged based on their merit and are protected from undue political influence or reprisal. President Trump has taken drastic steps to reduce the size of the federal workforce.

The impact of these attacks will be felt throughout the country, in every state, every county, every congressional district.
