The NASA Workforce
- The NASA
Workforce: Past, Present, Future: Every year since the
Apollo Era, NASA Headquarters has published a "NASA Civil
Service Workforce Report." It has contained information on
the size, demographics, and dynamics of the Agency
workforce--including hires, losses, awards, grades,
salaries, and other such data. The report breaks most this
information down by Center. Traditionally, the report has
been available in printed form to headquarters, centers, and
persons outside the Agency. Beginning in 1995 NASA has made
the workforce report available only via the World Wide Web.
