PRESS RELEASE TO ACCOMPANY STATISTICAL TABLES FOR THE MONTH OF OCTOBER 1935 The United States Civil Service Commission today released statistics showing that 796,297 persons were employed in the executive branch of the Government on October 31, 1935. This figure does not include employees of the legislative, judicial, or military branches of the service. The statistical tables released by the Commission classify the agencies of the executive branch into three groups: 1. "Regular agencies" or departments and offices which were in existence prior to the present administration. The total number of employees in these agencies on October 31, 1935, was 605,618; 2. "New agencies" or those which were created during the present administration. The total number of employees in these agencies on October 31, 1935, was 57,139; 3. "Emergency agencies" which includes agencies engaged in administering relief or financed from the emergency relief appropriation. These agencies had 133,540 employees on October 31, 1935. The "regular" agencies showed a decrease of 17,184 employees during the month, of whom approximately 15,000 were formerly shown in the War Department. The decrease in the War Department is due to the exclusion of project workers paid from emergency relief appropriation funds, who were incorrectly included in the totals for September. The "emergency" agencies added 21,281 employees to their rolls during the month, making a net increase of 1,830 for the entire executive branch during October. Released November 30, 1935.
