How many intelligence analysts are employed by the US government, to
include Defense, CDC, etc, and can you tell me the estimated number by
agency?  An analyst is someone who conducts research and/or analysis
on existing data collected by the government or that which is publicly
available.  This is
for a market sizing.  Thanks.

http://www.opm.gov/feddata provides this info. Intelligence Analysts
are category gs-0132 and in Sept 2001 there were 5777 federal
employees in this category.

Make sure when requesting info to specify to use static files since
otherwise FBI analysts won't be included.

There are about 200 current job openings for intelligence analysts

Thanks for the tips!
