stock here: Most places put the Fed Gov at around 3 Million “Workers”. But “ourpublicservice.org” puts it at 2.04 Million, and “keeping pace with population”. Then below, we see just the DOD at 3.2M. I guess we need to wrap our head around what elements of the DOD should be considered Federal workers, as opposed to “Military”
A-Eye said the DOE was about 4200 workers, and then brings up a 2018 stat stating 14,382. My question is….how can they do that much damage with so little people?
Yes, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is one of the federal executive departments. As of 2018, the DOE employed approximately 14,382 federal civilian employees.
