FTC Regional Offices - Antitrust Caseload?

Interested in federal government civil antitrust enforcement. Does anyone know how many antitrust investigations/cases are handled by attorneys in the FTC regional offices (of those that handle them--Seattle, SF, NYC)? Is the antitrust-specific workload comparable to that of DC litigating offices?

Don't have personal experience doing antitrust work, but both the adjuncts that taught my antitrust class were fairly senior attorneys at the SF office. One of them had worked in DC previously and said repeatedly that SF was less busy than DC, but not to a life-changing extent. FWIW the attorney with experience in both SF/DC seemed like he was slammed all the time and mentioned that he didn't get to see his kid much. We also had a number of classes cancelled when both profs got slammed at the same time, so I'd say that SF, at least, is fairly busy.
