As a government shutdown looms, see where U.S. federal employees live. Only 15 percent of the 2.19 million federal employees work in the Washington metro area. Although the Washington area has the highest number of federal workers, they only make up 9 percent of the local working population. Government employees make up larger shares of the workforce in many other areas, often near military bases. Federal employees are 17 percent of the workforce near the Patuxent River Naval Air Station in Southern Maryland.
