U.S. White House Office of National Drug Control Policy Operational Budget and Federal Staffing
To coordinate national drug policy across 19 federal agencies, it relies upon a $41 billion budget supported by 98 fulltime federal employees (2011 data). Almost 15 years ago, approximately 65.31% of the civil servant ONDCP employees were paid on pay scale “at either GS-15, GS-14, or SES pay grades), writes Wikipedia.
The data tables provided to us based upon our Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for data collection related to teleworking remote workers working from home may show the actual number of full time civil servants up to year 2023.
