Nearly three out of every 10 workers in Hawaii (29.7 percent), Alaska (29.6 percent) and the District of Columbia (29.1 percent) work for federal, state or local government, “at a time when government employment is declining nationally at all levels.”

That’s according to a Gallup report Monday (Feb. 13). 

Excerpt:

The findings are from Gallup Daily tracking interviews conducted with 129,476 U.S. workers throughout 2011, and include all workers who say they work for government — whether federal, state, local, or unspecified.
