Orlando
Government employees per capita: 0.05

Orlando is a major research center for the military. It is the focal point for the development of training simulation technology. Like Tampa, Orlando is a victim of the bad Floridian economy. Employment in Orlando recently has actually been doing worse than average for the state, with a 5.1 percent increase in unemployment from June 2008 to June 2009. But that's still a lot better than average across the nation.

I don't understand why certain metropolitan areas are listed multiple times in here as "separate" gov't job geographic areas. I live in the DC area which consists of Alexandria, Arlington, Bethesda, Silver Spring, DC itself etc. It's one area to me because the source of gov't jobs is within the same job market.
Same goes for Boston (and Cambridge) and Seattle (and Bellvue).
Better research next time please.
