Focus on Federal Workers

New from Gallup.com today is our first of several articles on how the federal workforce differs from other segments of the workforce and the U.S. workforce overall.

Our Editor in Chief Frank Newport reveals that 40% of federal workers in April reported that their "company" was hiring or expanding the size of its workforce. That's compared to 27% of all U.S. workers and 28% in the private sector.


This level of analysis is made possible through our Gallup Daily tracking and the large sample sizes therein.

A Gallup.com story for Tuesday will look at several aspects of health and wellbeing where federal workers differ significantly from non-government workers. (Update: this article is now on hold until a later date to be determined.)
