FedGov is a different story, some say it is up 250,000 workers since Obungo got in. The people retiring from FedGov skew white and white male. The people being hired to replace them skew black/minority/female/gay
I agree about the demographic attrition of white men in the federal workforce; is this hiring still going on with sequestration? Even without it, I don’t think the postal service or military (both federal) are running the workfare programs they’d been known for.
