Dunno, depends on how one counts fed employee.

Am guessing that as and when push turns to shove, the de facto fed employees at name-brand universities underwritten by fed-guaranteed student loans, the meticulous researchers at famous defense companies supported by fed contracts, the do-no-evil lots at google section answerable to NSA, and the entire financial industry beholden to the fed money policies, would be out of productive jobs.

Isn't the number of federal workers (including military) closer to 4 million rather than 22 million?


Yes it is.

Denninger is confused. The 21,880,000 figure, which he mistakenly cites as the number of federal government workers, is actually the total of federal, state and local government employees.

fed - 2,723,000 research.stlouisfed.org
state - 5,051,000 research.stlouisfed.org
local - 14,106,000 research.stlouisfed.org
