After reviewing Chapter 7: Public Personnel Administration and Human Resources Development, did it surprise you to discover which category of government employees is the largest groups (federal\/state\/local)?<\/p>\n
While we complain about federal agencies and their (somewhat) lack of responsiveness, recall that national government employment rates have not kept up with population growth. In fact, according to the text, the total number of national government civilian employees dropped almost 5% from 1992 to 2020.<\/p>\n
To Complete the Assignment:<\/span><\/p>\n After reviewing CH. 7 and developing your thoughts about the changing workforce in American public administration- what factors do you think affect the shrinking national government (civilian) employee rate? Do fewer federal government employees benefit society? Explain your positions with support from the literature (use references). <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Craft a 2-3 page Word document answering the questions presented above. Only the text found in the body of the document will count toward your minimum requirements (title page & reference page do not count). You may connect your thoughts with other topics presented in the Chapter. Remember to use APA style and reference any information you retrieve that is not your own thoughts (especially statistics). <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has in depth statistics on employee numbers for those of you seeking a deep dive.<\/p>\n
