Yeah, good stuff. Appreciate the fact-based insights into the workforce. Volume aside, I think showing the wide range of valid services, the mostly average pay, and the geographic spread across the country, would surprise most folks.
It doesn't take into account the contractor workforce, which is both a staff augmentation approach, and sometimes a cold hard deliverable-based approach. Either way, I've seen reports of up to 3-4 million federal contractors across the spectrum of duties and pay. Personally, when I lived in the area, it felt like about 50% of the "federal" workforce were contractors. Then again, I can also see why that's not terribly relevant since at the end of the day they are just agency budget line items paying for services or deliverables like any other vendor.
