>Your post at #40 covers 1940 on. My post at #31 starts at 1962.
I don’t really care where the tables start or finish. I’ve picked particular years and dealt with those. The starting year of 1964 was defined in one of your posts:
>Another thought for everyone is that total federal employment hasn’t changed very much since 1964. It’s sometimes gone up a few thousand, and then down a few thousand.
You chose that year, and I have merely provided relevant data. You can ignore the rest of the chart if you like. Though it’s not like the years in question have any particularly anomalous numbers. They are within the trends. The final year is 2010 which if, of course the most recent data available.
BTW, interesting note on the stuff before 1953 ~ it's all estimates. They apparently never kept track of how many federal employees there were.
