In 2002, the Federal Government employed about 1.9 million civilian workers, or about 1.3 percent of the Nation's workforce. Although the Federal Government employs workers in every major occupational group, workers are not employed in the same proportions in which they are employed throughout the economy as a whole (table 2). The analytical and technical nature of many government duties translates into a much higher proportion of professional, management, business, and financial occupations in the Federal Government, compared with most industries. Conversely, the Government sells very little, so it employs relatively few sales workers.

Even though most Federal departments and agencies are based in the Washington, DC, area, fewer than 15 percent of Federal employees worked in the vicinity of the Nation's Capital in 2003. In addition to Federal employees working throughout the United States, about 3 percent are assigned overseas, mostly in embassies or defense installations.
