| | Federal Government, Excluding the Postal Service |
 | | Federally employed workers in installation, maintenance, and repair occupations include aircraft mechanics and service technicians who fix and maintain all types of aircraft, and electrical and electronic equipment mechanics, installers, and repairers, who inspect, adjust, and repair electronic equipment such as industrial controls, transmitters, antennas, radar, radio, and navigation systems. |
 | | In general, Federal employment is considered to be relatively stable because it is not affected by cyclical fluctuations in the economy, as are employment levels in many private sector industries. |
 | | Federal employees may choose from a number of health plans and life insurance options; premium payments for these policies are partially offset by the Government. |
