federal workers
Public sector staff
Federal workers are employees of the national government, as opposed to state, local, or private-sector employees.
The term encompasses a wide range of positions—from postal carriers and park rangers to bureaucrats and military personnel.
Federal workers face furloughs during government shutdowns.
In American political discourse, federal workers often figure in debates about government size and spending.
