Of the 11,000 jobs gained in January, about 4,500 were for the Postal Service and 6,500 went to the rest of the federal government.
Much of the increases are attributable to special hiring initiatives at the Internal Revenue Service and the Veterans Affairs Department, though the Biden administration has been making staffing gains at most federal agencies. While early in his tenure Postmaster General Louis DeJoy pledged to slash the USPS workforce, the mailing agency's headcount has remained fairly stable and it has shifted much of it from part-time to full-time, career employees.
