Section 14

Federal Government Finances and Employment

This section presents statistics relating to the financial structure and the civilian employment of the Federal Government. The fiscal data cover the essential apparatus of public financing, namely appropriations, taxes, receipts, expenditures, and debt. The personnel data relate to civil staffing and payrolls for the different public functions and agencies, certain employee characteristics, and civil service status.

Principal sources of the fiscal data are The Budget of the United States Government published annually by the Bureau of the Budget and the Treasury Department's annual Combined Statement of Receipts, Expenditures and Balances, an abstract of the Treasury books relating to all of the receipt and appropriation accounts which report disbursements under the appropriations made by the Congress. The Annual Report of the Secretary of the Treasury is a convenient summary of yearly data relating to somewhat broader fields.

The day-to-day cash operations of the Federal Government clearing through the accounts of the Treasurer of the United States are reported in the Daily Statement of the United States Treasury. In the issue for the last day of the month the Statement contains information as to the public debt receipts and expenditures for the month and the outstanding public debt as of that day.

Receipts and expenditures of the Government classified as to budgetary and nonbudgetary transactions and showing the budget surplus or deficit appear in the Monthly Statement of Receipts and Expenditures of the United States Government. The monthly Treasury Bulletin contains analytical material on fiscal operations and related Treasury activities. Another special aspect of Federal finances is presented in the Treasury Department's monthly Circulation Statement of United States Money.

Tax data are compiled by the Internal Revenue Service of the Treasury Department. The Annual Report of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue gives a detailed account of tax collections by kind of tax and geographic area. The agency's three annual Statistics of Income reports present detailed data from individual income tax returns, corporation income tax returns, and business tax returns; the latter presents income data for sole proprietorships and partnerships along with summary statistics for corporations. Biennial Statistics of Income publications present data from fiduciary income tax, estate tax, and gift tax returns.

Federal employment figures are compiled primarily by the Civil Service Commission. The figures are issued by that agency in its regular Annual Report and its Monthly Report of Federal Employment. The Commission also publishes an annual report on the pay of Federal employees entitled Pay Structure of the Federal Civil Service and reports on occupations of both white-collar and blue-collar Federal workers. Data on Federal employment are also issued by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in its Monthly Labor Review.

Treasury receipts and expenditures.- All receipts of the Government, with a few exceptions, are deposited to the credit of the Treasurer of the United States, irrespective of their ultimate disposition or availability for expenditure. The Treasury Department currently uses two bases for the reporting of receipts: (1) Latest available reports of deposits in government depositaries in the general account of the Treasurer of the United States; and (2) collections as reported by government collecting agencies.
