What the Numbers Say About Roofing

As of the March 2025 reporting window, 46 people work in the Roofing occupation (OPM code 3606) across federal agencies, 0.0% of the 2,289,472-strong federal civilian workforce. Headcount moved up by 9.5% from the prior period, though at this small a headcount, year-to-year swings can reflect a handful of hires or departures rather than a broad hiring trend.

Roofing pays $77,178 per year on average, 29.8% below the $109,869 federal civilian average, after moving down -1.5% from the prior period (a modest shift, consistent with routine locality pay and grade-level movement). Employees in this role stay an average of 10 years, a mid-length average tenure, reflecting a mix of career employees and those who transfer or exit mid-career.

The Structural and Finishing Work Family family (code 36) groups Roofing together with 6 other related occupations across the federal government. Candidates browsing USAJOBS for Roofing postings should also review these sibling occupations, since federal hiring managers often cross-post positions across closely related codes when recruitment is difficult. All figures here come directly from OPM FedScope Employment Cubes, the same official source referenced in federal workforce planning, budget justifications, and GAO reports.

Inside the Structural and Finishing Work Family family (7 occupations, 1,010 employees combined), Roofing holds the #4 spot by headcount, a 4.6% share of the family total.
