How many people work for the EPA?

EPA employs over 17,000 people across the country, including headquarters offices in Washington, D.C., 10 regional offices, and more than a dozen labs.  Staff are highly educated and technically trained; more than half are engineers, scientists, and policy analysts. In addition, a large number of employees are legal, public affairs, financial, information management and computer specialists. EPA is led by the Administrator, who is appointed by the President of the United States. (http://www.opm.gov/fedcdp/agencies/epa.asp)
