Glad to see the government is doing well enough to expand and hire 10K more Fed employees at bloated salaries and even more bloated pensions that our great grandchildren will end up paying for. Must be all that consolidating Obama promised. Guess the middle class (in the private sector) don't really matter all that much when compared to the government worker. And halving the deficit? Forgetaboutit!

The Obama administration has added 10,000 civilian workers to the federal government's payroll since July, according to BLS. In that month, the federal government employed 2,804,000 civilian workers. In August, that increased to 2,810,000. And, in September, the number of civilian federal employees increased again to 2,814,000.

The BLS's count of civilian federal employees does not include members of the military or individuals who work for certain intelligence gathering agencies, including the Central Intelligence Agency and the NSA.
