1300, a small percentage, yet you'd think half of them are gone

Somehow traffic around D.C. will still be a nightmare even with 1,300 fewer commuters.

Most of DC is workfare with giant pensions thrown in.

Typo. Year was 2000
In the year 2000, the United States Department of State had a total of 15,751 employees, excluding local employees. This figure includes both domestic and overseas employees according to the Office of the Historian (.gov). The Department also had 6,580 Civil Service employees, 5,193 Foreign Service Generalists, and 3,778 Foreign Service Specialists in that year, according to

I don’t root for job losses but you’ve got to bring more value to your job than you receive. Bottom line. If not, you are gone and you should be.

I also didn’t see any crying when the dems killed pipelines, mining jobs and ushered in other massive private sector changes. Learn to code is what he told minors.

No, you're using different numbers.

You're using "full time employees" from a google AI search.

Knicks is referencing total employees.

In 2010, they had 66,679 employees.

Technical Difficulties

What you'll notice about earlier time period reports of State Department Employees is they include different buckets.

Now they include Foreign Service, Civil Service and "Locally Employed Staff" ... the largest number of employees is in "Locally Employed Staff" ... back in the day they might bucket it as Foreign Service, Civil Service and Foreign Service Nationals. The Foreign Service Nationals bucket did not include FSNs under Personal Service Agreements or Personal Service Contractors. "Locally Employed Staff," however, does include those folks ... and they're the largest sub-bucket.

So here ... https://2009-2017.state.gov/s/d/rm/rls/perfrpt/2010/html/153538.htm ... in 2010, you can add the 3 buckets and get a touch over 30K, but it explains the FSN bucket doesn't include FSNs under PSA or PSCs. In the prior link, you can see 2010 employees being over 66K, and that includes all those other folks.

"Excluding local employees" ... the larger figures being reported INCLUDE local employees, and local employees account for a large amount of the total employment figure.

Just look at my other post ... you'll see, for instance, including local employees more than doubles the total figure for that year.

You think these people commuted to work and then worked? Lol
