This report provides data and analysis concerning legislative branch staffing levels since 1954.
Legislative branch staff include congressional staff, who work in the House or Senate, and
legislative agency staff, who work in a legislative branch agency. Legislative branch staff are
counted by full-time equivalent (FTE) positions or payroll positions. FTE positions are based on
an estimate of time needed to carry out the work of an agency, which is used to compute an
estimated level of staffing. The second method considers staff on the payroll, a head count
                                                                                  A           @
method that counts the number of people actually carrying out the work of an agency. Because of
their consistency and availability, payroll data are used for this report. FTE data are used in a few
cases when payroll data are unavailable.

At present, there is no legislation pending before Congress to change existing staff arrangements
in Congress or legislative branch agencies. As policies and issues before Congress continue to
proliferate in volume and complexity, new proposals for change in staffing levels or changes in
the balance between congressional staff and legislative agency staff may emerge.

T      his report provides data and analysis of legislative branch staffing levels since 1954.
       Legislative branch staff include congressional staff, who work in the House or Senate, and
       legislative agency staff, who work in a legislative branch agency.1 All staff positions
discussed in this report are funded in the annual legislative branch appropriations act.

Legislative branch staffing levels since 1954 reflect a number of trends and characteristics. From
the mid-1950s, and through the 1960s, staffing levels were characterized by modest, steady
growth. This pattern gave way to a sharper increase in congressional staff throughout the 1970s,
primarily due to the implementation of the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1970 (LRA) and the
Congressional Budget Act of 1974 (CBA). The LRA mandated enhanced congressional oversight,
including additional congressional staff for House and Senate committees and increased staff in
some legislative agencies. The CBA established the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and the
Senate and House Committees on the Budget. Agency staff levels were essentially flat from the
mid-1970s until the mid-1980s, when they began to decline. In the 1980s, congressional staff
levels were also flat, resulting in a small overall decrease in legislative staff employment.
Congressional staff levels began to decrease in the early 1990s, and the rate of legislative agency
decline accelerated. The decreases were due in part to reductions in House committee staff, the
General Accounting Office (GAO), and other legislative branch entities, and the abolition of the
Office of Technology Assessment (OTA). Decreases continued in the early 2000s, but appear to
show slight increases in the past few years. Figure 1 provides an overview of legislative branch
staffing trends.

Table 2 through Table 7 provide legislative branch staffing data between 1954 and 2007.


                                                    
¢ 
Legislative branch staff are counted by full-time equivalent (FTE) positions or payroll positions.
FTE positions are based on an estimate of time needed to carry out the work of an agency, which
is used to compute an estimated level of staffing. The second method considers staff on the
payroll, a head count method that counts the number of people actually carrying out the work of
           A              @
an agency. FTEs capture the long-term staffing expectations of an agency, while head counts
represent on-board personnel at a specific moment in time.


  
According to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), FTEs are determined by a formula
that adds the total number of hours worked by all employees of agencies during a year and then
divides that total by 2,080, which is the number of scheduled work hours in a work year. The
2,080 hours can be worked by one employee who works a full time schedule of 40 hours each



   
                                                                                



week for 52 weeks, or two or more part-time employees who work a total of 2,080 hours between
or among them. This method provides the means for an agency to determine its long term staffing
expectations and the impact of those expectations on the agency s future budgets. FTE estimates
                                                                              =

do not reflect the actual number of people needed to carry out the work of the agency.2 While
OPM requires federal executive branch agencies to estimate their staffing needs in FTEs, no
standard has been explicitly mandated by Congress for legislative entities to use for staff
planning. Nevertheless, FTE estimates appear to be widely employed. Regular references to
legislative branch staff in terms of FTEs were made by the House Committee on Appropriations
beginning in the early 1990s, according to a survey of its hearings and reports.


¢ 
A second method of calculating employment levels considers staff on payroll. While the FTE
method provides an estimate of the long-term staff needs of an agency, the payroll method
captures the actual number of employees working at any one time. Payroll data are supplied by
the legislative branch entities to OPM on a monthly basis and made available as a public
document.3 Because of their consistency and availability, payroll data are used for this report.
FTE data are used in a few cases when payroll data are unavailable.


   
Between 1954 and 2007, total legislative branch staff increased by 44.50%. Most of this growth
occurred among congressional staff, which more than tripled over the five-decade period, while
legislative agency staff decreased by 13.28%. Table 1 summarizes changes in legislative branch
staffing between 1955 and 2005.

Since 1954, there have been changes not only in the size but also in the deployment of legislative
branch staff. From the mid-1950s through the 1970s, there were considerably more legislative
agency employees than congressional staff. In 1954, 16,051 employees served in legislative
agencies, compared to 5,621 congressional staff. By 1970, the gap decreased with legislative
agencies comprising 18,523 employees and Congress having 11,127 staff members. During the
1980s, legislative branch employees were effectively evenly divided between Congress and
legislative branch agencies, with 1985 staffing levels of 18,590 in legislative agency offices and
19,488 in congressional offices. In the 1990s, both congressional staff and agency staff numbers
declined significantly, but the decline was higher for agency staff. In 2000, legislative branch
agencies accounted for 14,325 employees; congressional staff was 16,504. In the past several
years, legislative agency staff numbers have continued to decrease, but at a slower pace than
during the 1990s, while congressional staff levels have grown slightly. In 2007, the latest
available data from OPM show 13,390 employees working in legislative agencies, and 17, 396
staff members in congressional offices.

The growth of congressional staff was likely                  ,gniffatS etaneS dna esuoH .3 erugiF
due to a number of factors. These include a                                     7002-5791

The overall downward trend in legislative agency staffing, displayed in Figure 2, has not affected
every agency. Figure 5 provides staffing levels for four legislative agencies that have operated
continuously between 1954 and 2007: the Architect of the Capitol (AOC), GAO, the Government
Printing Office (GPO), and the Library of Congress (LOC). Staffing levels in two of the agencies,
AOC and LOC, appear to reflect trends similar to that of the legislative branch as a whole. By
contrast, both GAO and GPO had fewer staff in 2007 than in 1954. GAO staff levels appear to
have fallen until the 1970s before growing in the years after passage of the LRA and the General
Accounting Office Act of 1974. Relatively small growth continued at GAO until the mid-1990s,
when the agency's staff levels were reduced by Congress. Since the mid-1990s, GAO staff levels
have remained flat. GPO staff levels grew continuously between 1954 and 1975, but have
declined steadily since. This is due in part to the adoption by the agency of less labor intensive
printing technologies, increased utilization of contracted printing services, and reduced demands
from government clients who have opted to provide their documents through electronic means.

At present, there is no legislation pending before Congress to change existing staff arrangements
in Congress or legislative branch agencies. As policies and issues before Congress continue to
proliferate in volume and complexity, new proposals for change in staffing levels or changes in
the balance between congressional staff and legislative agency staff may emerge. Those proposals
may also be incorporated into broader issues, including how to fund additional staff resources,5
and how to accommodate more staff in congressional facilities. Periodically, concerns have been
raised that congressional buildings and facilities on Capitol Hill are overcrowded, or inadequate
to support the work of Congress,6 despite the recent addition of congressional facilities in the
Capitol Visitors' Center expansion. Any discussion of adding congressional staff would likely
raise questions related to the adequacy of current congressional facilities.
