Governing: The number of people working in state and local government is growing — but not as quickly as the country is.
Last year, according to recently released data from the U.S. Census Bureau, public-sector workers (excluding education and federal workers) numbered 7.6 million — the highest level in the past decade, and 11,000 greater than in 2018. But the number of state and local employees per 10,000 people fell from 233.6 to 232.8, after a decadal peak of 245.6 in 2010.
