Compare agencies

Any two of 15, side by side
1 figure = 25,000 people

Pick an agency for each panel. Headcount is drawn as isotype figures on a shared unit - one figure is 25,000 people, so the figure counts are the comparison across the gutter. Salary, veteran share, and STEM share are drawn on a shared scale with a red tick at the federal weighted average, so each agency reads against a fixed reference. No JavaScript.

What is real vs. slotted

Real, per agency (FY2024 snapshot): headcount, share of the 2.31M civilian workforce, median salary (real for 12 of 15; DoD, DHS and DOJ carry an est stand-in because OPM redacts most of their pay), veteran share, STEM share, and a single-scalar 1-year change (not a multi-year trend). Slotted: four roadmap dimensions - GS-grade distribution, top occupations, geographic spread, and tenure/age - have no per-agency data today, so each panel names the exact FedScope cube that fills it rather than showing a fabricated number.

GS-grade distribution
FedScope AGYSUB x GSEGRD crosstab
Per-agency shares across GS-1..15 + SES on a shared scale - reveals top-heavy (DOJ, State) vs. flat (VA). Today only a government-wide pyramid exists (section 05).
Top occupations
FedScope AGYSUB x OCC (PATCO) crosstab
Each agency's top job series by headcount. Today the occupations table (section 03) is government-wide only, not split by agency.
Geographic spread
FedScope AGYSUB x LOC crosstab
Where each agency's workforce sits, DC-concentration vs. field-dispersed. Today geography (section 04) is a government-wide metro rollup, not per-agency.
