Federal Civilian Workforce Statistics: Occupations of Federal White-Collar andBlue-Collar Workers as of September 30, 1999

摘要

The September 1999 survey of the occupational characteristics of civilianemployees in the Federal Government covered 1,683,220 full-time Federal civilian employees, excluding the U.S. Postal Service and foreign nationals (noncitizens) employed overseas. This workforce included 1,453,735 white-collar employees (86 percent) and 229,485 blue-collar workers (14 percent). Information from this survey can help in the analysis and evaluation of workforce composition, the projection of workforce requirements, and the determination of policies dealing with national labor resources; it also may be used as a basic reference for guidance and counseling personnel concerned with the effective matching of jobs and people. This publication is the twenty-sixth in a series (biennial since 1981) published by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (formerly the U.S. Civil Service Commission). It presents data by occupation, average salary, agency, major geographic area, gender, pay category, grade, and supervisory status. Appendix I provides definitions and the survey population coverage. Appendix II describes data sources and quality.
