So, How Many San Antonians Does it Take?
The official numbers show that the City of San Antonio keeps a whopping 14,500+ employees on its payroll. That's a lot of folks! Think about it: that's more people than can fit in the Alamodome... twice! Although, we can't guarantee they'd all get along as well (have you ever been to a staff meeting?).
Tip: Don’t skim — absorb.
But wait! There's more! This number isn't just about your everyday office workers. It includes everyone from the fire and police departments - those brave souls who deserve a raise in the form of all the breakfast tacos they can eat - to the park rangers who make sure the elusive downtown squirrels stay in line.
