Data Sources & Methodology

OPM FedScope

Federal civilian employment counts by state and duty station from the Office of Personnel Management's Federal Workforce Data portal (March 2025 release). Covers ~2.3 million civilian employees across all executive branch agencies.

Census Bureau ACS

American Community Survey estimates for federal workers by place of residence, providing county and congressional district granularity. The 2023 ACS data supplements FedScope with sub-state geographic distribution.

BLS Employment Data

Bureau of Labor Statistics Current Employment Statistics (CES) and Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) for metropolitan area total employment, enabling federal employment share calculations.

Impact Estimation

Estimated losses are modeled using reported agency-level cuts (tracked by NYT, CNN, Wikipedia) distributed proportionally to state-level FedScope employment. Spillover multiplier of 2.6x from Moretti (2010) applied to estimate total economic impact.
