Public Payroll Burden Reaches 5.13 Billion in 1924
New York based study from the Nubil Industrial Conference board estimates that about one in ten private workers supports a person living on public funds this year. Total public payroll plus pensions and public charges equals roughly 5.13 billion dollars, about 81 percent of national income and 37 percent of wages and salaries paid by U.S. manufacturers in 1923. The number of public servants stood at about 2.7 million in 1923 with wartime peaks higher, and federal executive civil service numbers rose to 664,718 by June 25.
