Because I'm surprised no one mentioned that 4-million federal employees had their personnel records hacked. Still waiting to find out if SWMBO or my step-son were one of the "lucky" ones.

Just read about that in the paper last night.
There's federal employees on here.
They don't post on the weekends so that they will have something to do at work.

Um, ouch dude.
And yeah, I heard about this already. Not much to be done about it though. And it seems the way things are going people who haven't had their "personal information" hacked are going to be a minority soon.
Besides, who would want to steal my identity. Poverty isn't something to desire.
Sorry, forgot the 
in my post.
I think I'm still on the free identity theft monitoring from the last time our information got hacked. We find out next week individually if our personal information we compromised again.

It helps to have a verifiable alias when committing crimes like opening bank accounts to launder money, taking out loans, or filing fraudulent tax returns for a refund. You should probably be a little concerned. Enough, atleast, to have flags set up on credit checks. I can think of a lot reasons to be someone else that are even less benign.
This has happened before in my agency except it wasn't a "hack". It was someone getting their computer, loaded with employee personal information, stolen. Been getting free credit monitoring for years. This is much more widespread but same stuff different day really.
sssshhhhhhh, we don't talk about those things. We may be listening to us.
We're way ahead of the Feds. My agency accidentally auctioned off hard drives hard drives with all our info a couple years ago.

maybe they're just accustomed to it, and it's no big deal anymore ?
I think about half of the "working" people in this country are Federal employees, which is extra sad when you consider that 99% of the real work happens in the private sector.

About 15.6% total government and less than 2% Federal Government
I think I read that 80% of Americans have had their personal records hacked, and 20% are about to.

Hi Flight Service,
FWIW, your link doesn’t work for me.
Anyway, I thought our current GE/P (government employee / population) was at 6.9%. This is good news in the sense that during every administration going back to Reagan, the number was in the low seven percent range but this is bad news relative to long term historical averages which were around four percent flat.
I wish I could access your link to understand the 15.6% as it’s more than twice my number which is supposed to include all federal, state, and local employees. Perhaps my number doesn’t include military and / or some other stuff.

(numbers in thousands)

I got almost 13%
This is my favorite of all the graphs. Gets those states rights guys all in a twist. Yelling at someone in DC is alot easier than yelling at the guy screwing you next door.
You have to admit though, a lot more is done locally now.
We have crews of three people out picking garbage 
And using leaf blowers to get all the crap off the grass and medians and blowing it into the street for street sweeping.
Its almost mind blowing how many city jobs there are!
