A Message From The Director

I am pleased to present the Office of Personnel Management's report on Federal Civilian Workforce Statistics, Employment and Trends, as of September 2004. This bi-monthly publication is the only official source of data/information on our Federal civilian workforce. To enhance the usefulness of the workforce data, we have analyzed the data and presented it in a variety of statistical graphs and tables that we hope are useful and meaningful to you.

These statistics provide a bi-monthly overview of the Federal Government's talented workforce and reflects a refocused mission as Departments and Agencies respond to President George W. Bush's mandate for a Government that is citizen-centered, results-oriented and market-based.

If you would like additional information on our civilian workforce or have suggestions for our staff, please contact our office by calling 202-606-2942 or email at Fedstats@opm.gov.

Kay Coles James
Director
