Employment in government, federal
The federal government continued to shed jobs in October. Within
the industry, U.S. Postal Service employment decreased by 4,000 over
the month. Federal, except U.S. Postal Service employment also
continued to trend downward (-8,000). Since its most recent peak in
May 2011, federal, except U.S. Postal Service has lost 110,000 jobs,
while the U.S. Postal Service has lost 49,000 within the same period.
The partial federal government shutdown occurred from October 1,
2013 to October 16, 2013. The legislation that ended the shutdown
established that federal employees would be paid for the time their
agencies were closed, thus, federal employees who were off work due
to the lapse in funding were counted as employed in the payroll survey.
