Types of Federal Employers

- Federally funded programs – Some non-profit organizations such as those in education, the arts, and social services employ a large number of federally paid employees, however donations and grants are also used to pay employees.
- Federal contractors – Some projects are given on a contractual basis to people in certain industries, and while working on a government contract, involved workers are considered to be federal employees.
