I wouldn’t be surprised if about half of the 2,000 from the article are govt contractor companies. Think about the tons of companies for defense for planes. And tons for processing money like EBT payments. And tons for military supplies like uniforms. And tons getting EV charging contracts. And tons supplying arms for the IRS. And tons supplying police with equipment approved by the federal govt. And software for university accounting departments that has to be approved to receive federal grants. And the contractors who work on federal highways or perhaps work on state highways that federal money helps and therefore has to approve. And the contractors who provide staff and/or supplies for federal prisons. And the contractors who do work for the IRS. Etcetera. Etcetera. Etcetera. Etcetera.
Speaking of the government, diversity.defense.gov is GONE, redirects to a general military HR page.
It was alive a month ago.
