Summary View help for Summary
This study provides personal and career-related data about 363 high-level federal employees and 195 former such employees. The first section of the study covers the personal characteristics and background of the employees. Sex, age, and educational history were ascertained, including the field of education and the highest degree received. The employee's occupation prior to entering federal service was also noted. In addition, for each employee or former employee, the study recorded the major occupational focus of the federal position, the agency or department to which the position belonged, whether the position was located at headquarters or in the field, and the civil service grade of the employee. The same information was obtained for positions held at five-year intervals, back to July 1, 1916, or the worker's earliest date of employment by the federal government.
