Nice to see IE gets updated a lot quicker in the US than it does in the UK (though there aren't browser usage statistics available for Gov.UK sites I don't think...)!
Our pitch is pretty simple: Fix Stuff That Matters.
It's odd, being in the tech bubble, you forget how many people there are that really don't think about their technology (or work somewhere for whom the most important things are cost and stability).
It would be interesting to take a poll of what people think the numbers would be like before they saw them. I would have guessed a lot more Chrome/FF.
28.3% on IE, 41% on Windows 7. Wow.

Or NetApps' market share numbers are crap, and StatCounter's (and others') numbers are a lot closer to reality - which is that Chrome dominates the web browser market.

Most people whinge about IE8 support, yet their mobile experience is awful. 25% of these hits are mobile, we see close to 40-50% for us, with much higher for hospitality clients (bars, restaurants), though they usually get <3k sessions a month.
If you'd like to build things like this Dashboard, and help fix the services Americans depend on, we are hiring. We have an amazing core already, and are growing fast.

I'm curious: where is that work, geographically?

e: Realise this comes off as confrontational. Genuine questions!
If anyone would like to see, use or contribute to the code we used to build the Dashboard, we're on GitHub: https://github.com/GSA/analytics.usa.gov And also open-sourced the adapter we use to get the data out of Google Analytics and into a nice clean JSON API for our client-side static app to consume: https://github.com/18F/analytics-reporter
Very nice, open-source FTW.
