How does the U.S. federal workforce compare with those in other countries?

President Trump's administration has fired more than 20,000 federal workers. How does the federal workforce compare with those of other countries?
The article from KOSU discusses a study by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) comparing the U.S. federal workforce with those of other countries. Key points include that the U.S. has a relatively small federal workforce when measured as a percentage of the total labor force, with only about 1.5% of the U.S. labor force employed by the federal government, compared to an OECD average of around 8%. This lower percentage is attributed to the U.S.'s decentralized governance where many services are managed at state and local levels rather than federally. The study also highlights differences in job security, compensation, and unionization rates, noting that U.S. federal employees generally have less job security and lower unionization rates than their counterparts in other OECD countries. Additionally, the article touches on the implications of these differences for policy-making, public sector efficiency, and employee satisfaction.
