The Biden administration’s hiring has expanded the government workforce at the fastest pace since the 1980s, yet federal employment remains near a record low as a share of total employment.
As the federal workforce grew by 4.4% in the past four years, it now represents just 1.9% of total employment, a reduction from over 3% in the 1980s.
Max Stier notes that despite the perception that the federal workforce is expanding, in reality, it has remained about the same size as in the 1960s.
Vivek Ramaswamy claims that 75% of the federal workforce could be cut to pursue $2 trillion in savings, raising concerns about maintaining quality services.
