Federal Employment

A great deal of hay was made recently regarding government employment and Mr. Obama's affect thereof.

The only category of government employment that Mr. Obama controls is those employees of the federal government.  So how has he affected total federal employment?

As anyone can see, it has gone up over the last few years.  The increase has been from 4,206,000 employees in 2008 to 4,443,000 in 2010.  I didn't find numbers for 2012.

Pie by thumb, I'd call that about a 5% increase.
