D.C.

Posted by David Hardy · 7 February 2012 01:08 PM

The District accuses 130 of its employees of unemployment compensation fraud -- they were receiving unemployment compensation while holding down District government jobs.

I was a little startled to see that the District employs 32,000 people. DC's population is about 617,000; Tucson's is 520,000, and Pima County's is over a million. Tucson employs 4,900 people, and Pima County another 5,000. The county has to provide services to over 9,100 square miles, whereas DC has to provide them to about 80 square miles.

Perhaps more of D.C.'s residents are in need of "social services."

How many DC employees are residents?

DC also has a whole lot more cops per square foot, which doesn't really translate into reduced crime.

How many of those general DC maintenance employees are patronage employees, like in Chicago?

Keep in mind that the DC city government is also in effect the state government. Still, that's a huge number of employees.
