A small county in Alabama’s rural Wiregrass region is home to the state’s highest share of federal workers. Coffee County, in the southeastern part of the state, is home to the U.S. Army Aviation headquarters. That’s also true for Dale County, which shares a border with Coffee County. Meanwhile, Perry County, in the Black Belt, has the smallest share of federal workers. They made up 0.9% of the workforce at just 13 workers, as of September 2024.

It’s that time of year. The weather is getting warmer — maybe too warm, in some parts — and if you haven’t taken your family on a spring break vacation already, it’s likely you’re planning one for the summer.
