1.4 million people have top-secret clearance. But the government says you can trust them with your data. Good luck with that. QUOTE A 2010 Washington Post report found "close to 30 percent of the workforce in the intelligence agencies is contractors." Some 5 million people hold a government security clearance, according to a 2012 report by the Director of National Intelligence. About 1.4 million people have top-secret clearance, and half of those are the employees of private businesses. Some 480,000 contractors held top-secret credentials as of last year, and 2,000 companies supply contractors to the intelligence agencies.
