Federal Workforce Dependency Map

This map breaks down federal civilian employment for all 50 states and Washington, D.C. — how many people each state's federal workforce employs, what share of the local labor force that represents, and what it costs taxpayers annually in salary and benefits. Layered on top is the workforce reduction driven by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) since 2025: positions eliminated by state and agency, the split between voluntary buyouts and forced separations, and the resulting savings. A private-sector job growth column sits alongside the federal numbers so you can see, state by state, how a heavy federal employment footprint lines up (or doesn't) with private-sector momentum.
