650,000 employees?

Let's see, that's:

* 207 employees per county (650,000 / 3141) Link.

* 13,000 employees per state (650,000 / 50)

* .0018 employee per US person (650,000 / 350,000,000)

What was the number of employees in 2000? Should be a bunch less than 650,000 given email and online everything. But I bet it's not, primarily because the employees are unionized.

Let's at least end Sat delivery and cut an appropriate number of employees.
