Introduction
The federal government employs more than 2 million civilians who live and work in every state
and U.S. territory. As Congress considers the impact of federal appropriations at the national,
state, and local levels, Members may seek information on the number of federal employees in
their state or congressional district.
This report provides a snapshot of recent statistics for U.S. government employment in each state
and territory, as well as estimates for how many federal workers live in each congressional
district.
Please note that these figures do not include uniformed military personnel or federal contractors.
Additional data limitations are noted below.
This product will be updated on an annual basis. See CRS Report R43590, Federal Workforce
Statistics Sources: OPM and OMB, by Carol Wilson, for more information and context.
State-Level Counts
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) maintains data on the federal civilian workforce
through the Enterprise Human Resources Integration (EHRI) Data Warehouse. This data can be
accessed and analyzed through OPM’s online tool FedScope.1 In this tool, OPM provides various
data elements associated with “on-board” employees, which are defined as the number of
employees in pay status at the end of each quarter. Popular data elements include the duty
location of federal employees by state, territory, or foreign country.
Table 1 contains OPM figures for the number of on-board federal civilian employees in the state
or territory of their assigned duty station (official worksite), as of the end of March 2023.
It is important to note that FedScope excludes a number of departments and agencies, including
the U.S. Postal Service and most of the legislative and judicial branches; a full list of excluded
agencies is available on the FedScope website.2 Also, FedScope does not provide state-level
location information for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives; the Bureau of
the Mint; the Drug Enforcement Agency; the Federal Bureau of Investigation; or the U.S. Secret
Service. Employees of these agencies who work in the Washington, DC-MD-VA-WV
Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) are recorded as having a duty station in the District of
Columbia, while employees outside this MSA are reported as “suppressed.” Additionally, OPM
withholds location information for a number of sensitive occupations, such as police, intelligence,
and customs inspection. A full list of excluded occupations is available in OPM’s data release
policy.3

Notes: State location reflects duty station, not place of residence. Some departments and agencies are not
included in these figures. For some other agencies and occupations, employee locations are suppressed or
reassigned to the District of Columbia. For ful details, see https://www.fedscope.opm.gov/datadefn/

District-Level Estimates
OPM’s FedScope database does not provide a breakdown for federal employment by
congressional district. However, district-level estimates for the number of federal government
workers are available from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (ACS).
Table 2 contains 2022 ACS estimates for the number of people who are employed by the federal
government and live in each of the 435 congressional districts, the margin of error for that
estimate, and a calculation of federal workers as a percentage of all employed civilians (aged 16
and older) who live in that district. The table includes the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.4

4 American Community Survey (ACS) data are not available for other U.S. territories.

These are one-year ACS estimates and come with margins of error, which can be significant. The
ACS relies on self-identification as a federal government civilian employee, and so this does not
represent an official count of employees on federal payrolls. In addition, unlike OPM’s state-level
statistics, the congressional district location in these estimates reflects place of residence rather
than duty station. For all of these reasons, ACS estimates may differ from OPM employment
counts.

Source: U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey (ACS); CRS calculations.
Notes: One-year ACS estimates for 2022. The estimated number of civilians who are employed by the federal
government, the associated margin of error, and the estimated total number of employed civilians aged 16 and
older all came from Table S2408, Class of Worker by Sex for the Civilian Employed Population 16 Years and Over. CRS
calculated the percentage of employed civilians living in each district who are employed by the federal
government. The ACS relies on self-identification as a federal government civilian employee. Congressional
district location reflects place of residence rather than duty station. The District of Columbia is represented by a
Delegate, and Puerto Rico is represented by a Resident Commissioner.
