Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: This is a question with no correct answer. We need a more complete definition of what you mean by "bureaucracy" and "work".
Do you mean to include the Congressional staff (most of whome work in the home district of the official)? How about the local federal offices? Are you including state and local bureaucrats? Are you including all "government desk jobs" or all "federal government jobs" or "all government jobs at any level"? Do you mean by "work", "effective" or "employed"?
If you can narrow your definition down, I am certain we can give you an answer, but this looks like a question that is supposed to come from some reading assignment, and thus will reflect the author's opinion, as well as any fragment of actual fact that he drew upon to come up with the number.
