Abstract

GOVERNMENT is one of the fastest growing industries in the United States. Of a total nonagricultural work force in July 1968, of approximately 69 million persons, nearly twelve million were employed by government.' Approximately three million were employed at the federal level and almost nine million at the state and local levels. In Georgia, state and local governments employ 186,000 men and women. Estimates indicate that by 1975 11.4 million government employees will function at the state and local levels. Although strikes by public employees are universally considered un- lawful, strike idleness of government employees rose to 1.2 million man-days in 1967. Public schools were the most frequently struck government service with teachers involved in 76 of the 89 school strikes.
