Book Description
Excerpt from Superannuation in the Civil Service: Report of a Special Committee of the National Civil Service Reform League, 1906 Nor is it true that the number of employees over 70 years of age is rapidly increasing. In 1893, the first year for which we have official statistics, there were just 2 per cent. Who were 70 years of age and over in the depart ments at Washington; there were 2 per cent. In 1900, per cent. In 1902 and 2 per cent. In 1904, at the end of eleven years. (4) By the latest report made in May, 1906, the percentage is about per cent. The average age in the service in Washington is years, and outside, it is years.. The average age, especially in the Washing ton departments, is much increased at present by the large number of veterans of the Civil War, who have had special preferences in appointment. Their age in 1904 was from 50 to 82 years.(5) Considerably more than half of those in the service over 65 years of age are veterans.(6) By far the greater part of those in the ser vice over 70 years of age entered without examina tion. Only per cent. Of those over 65 years of age entered through competitive examinations under civil service rules.
