Portuguese term or phrase: servidor ou funcionário público
Eu vejo milhares de "public employee" no Google mas não tenho certeza se isso nos EUA é a mesma coisa que é no Brazil.

Aqui um funcionário público é aquele cujo o empregador é o governo ou entidades controladas pelo governo: universidades federais e estaduais, empresas (e.g., Petrobrás), agências (e.g., IBAMA), polícia, forças armadas, câmaras, congresso etc. É public employee mesmo ou isso é outra coisa?

agree  Denise Miranda: Stick to employee. I remember we once had a discussion in class with an American teacher over this term. She said "servant" sounded more like those who work in cleaning, mowing grass etc.
