This chart shows the number of employees in the federal public service in the national capital region. The population has grown from 107,000 in 2015 to 142,000 in 2022. That includes the core public service as well as other agencies.
The Treasury Board directive to return to in-person work for two to three days per week by March 31 applies to the core public administration, but separate agencies have been encouraged to adopt the same approach.
