And what a meaningless statistic. There is no shortage of people wanting these jobs.
How many of them are actually competent to do them is an entirely different matter, however. That includes a large portion of those currently holding them or on-track to inherit them because they are "entitled" to them due to their pedigree, network or some other reason which should be irrelavant.
The best way to cut costs and improve performance would be to fill these jobs with older workers willing to forego social security. An entirely sensible plan to do just that is outlined here.
wow! a whole ONE MONTH of job losses in the next four years will be available!! Party hats ON!
