I am curious if anyone can shed light on polygraph usage in the United States. That is, how many polygraph exams are conducted in the average year? And, more importantly, what percentage of them are done for each of the following purposes:

Federal agency use for pre-employment
Federal agency use on current employees
Non-federal law enforcement for pre-employment
Non-federal law enforcement on current employees
Law enforcement (all levels) on suspected criminals
Law enforcement (all levels) on people on probation, including sex offenders
Use by private citizens or companies, including TV shows

I think even a rough breakdown would help shed significant light on the polygraph debate. Does anyone have any data on this matter?
