So, How Many Blue-Collar Employees Does the Federal Government Employ?

Y'all were right to jump all over me and point out that using janitors as an example of blue-collar jobs in government was a bad choice of an example. But there are still about 200,000 people in the Federal Wage System, the federal government's pay system for blue-collar workers. Contracting may have shrunk the ranks of federal blue-collar employees. But they're far from gone.
