Who is Leaving the Federal Government?

Abstract

This report provides a detailed analysis of the turnover in Federal white-collar occupations. The data on turnover are examined not only by occupations but also from the perspective of major Federal departments, agencies, and selected demographic characteristics of the work force. The Federal civilian work force is very large-approximately 2.1 million not counting the U.S. Postal Service-and quite varied. Approximately 20 percent of these employees work in blue-collar occupations. To provide a reasonable focus, this report concentrates on the turnover among approximately 1.4 million full-time, permanent, white-collar employees in the executive branch during calendar year 1987. For the purposes of this report, turnover is defined in terms of the individuals who left the Federal Government and does not include individuals who transferred from one Federal agency to another.
