Employees of federal agencies, departments and services account for 15 percent of the total government workforce in St. Louis, according to an On Numbers study of the latest data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
As of March this year, 26,100 of the 170,200 government jobs in St. Louis were held by employees of the federal government. That put the city 25th on a ranking of the top 100 markets' federal share of the government workforce.
The federal government accounts for more than 20 percent of the total government workforce in 12 metro areas, with Washington, D.C., as the obvious frontrunner at 55 percent of the total government workforce in its metro area comprised of federal employees.
Ogden, Utah, a regional hub for the Internal Revenue Service, is the runner-up. Federal jobs constitute 40 percent of its overall government employment. Third place belongs to Virginia Beach-Norfolk, Va., which contains several major naval installations, at 32 percent.
The top 100 metro markets, taken as a group, have 2 million federal jobs, which account for 14 percent of their total government workforce of 13.8 million.
