More winning.
About one percent, but I’m happy to hear it.
Yep, a drop in the bucket, but it’s a start.
Hey, under Obama they were hiring at breakneck speeds.
Remember the 40,000 new IRS hires in order to police ObamaCare?
I’d guess that those numbers include military? So, while one is ramping up, the other is ramping down, and there still is a net loss. I’ll take it.
Mice nuts.
Nice, but with hiring freeze and attrition I am surprised it is not more.
Not tired of winning yet.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to get rid of Federal workers? Have you ever tried?
Frankly, if they just didn’t replace retirees or those that quit/die it would be awesome. No need to fire anyone.
Since now government jobs, local, state, county and federal pay a higher average than private and include all kinds of benefits including pensions, those jobs are in demand.
Good employees in all branches have and continue to wonder why they work hard when the ghost pay-rollers continue to get paid the same as they do, without having to do any work.
I can’t wait to hear the left complain even louder about how Trump is screwing us out of all the government we need.
That’s a start but a long way to go.
Depends what positions are getting cut. I see engineers, logisticians and KO’s getting gobbled up by contractors. That is not always a good thing for the taxpayer.
I think that this is because of attrition rather than firings.
Those leaving were not replaced
EPA 14,172 employees remain
Department of Education 3,912 employees remain
EPA 14,172 employees remain
The National Endowment for the Arts (could not find the number, but too many) employees remain
The National Endowment for the Humanities 159 employees remain

Much of that is the governments lack of finding qualified employees. Lots of people do not like working for the government. And because the government has lots of stupid educational requirements for each position that require long and expensive college degrees, many prospects would rather take a private sector job.
That is awesome!
Best President Ever! (Except for George Washington.)
