Economists suggest that the Trump administration's buyout offer for federal employees will have a limited effect on the national job market, despite 65,000 accepting the offer. The number is relatively small compared to the 200,000 jobs added monthly in the U.S. Most of those taking the buyout are likely close to retirement, and their exit may not result in a significant influx of new job seekers. Moreover, potential adverse effects from federal spending cuts could worsen the situation in the job market.
The buyout offer may not significantly impact the job market, as many accepting it are nearing retirement and won't add substantial numbers to job seekers.
If hundreds of thousands of federal workers enter the workforce, the effects may be felt more broadly, especially with ongoing federal spending cuts.
