About 1-in-4 federal employees would consider leaving their jobs if Donald Trump is elected president, according the results of a recent survey conducted by the Government Business Council.

Overall, about 2-in-3, or 67 percent said they would not think about leaving the federal government if Trump becomes president, but 14 percent said they would and 11 percent said they would "maybe" leave. Just 8 percent said they did not know. The share of Democrats who said they would leave is higher, with 42 percent indicating that they would exit or could exit.

Among all of those surveyed, 59 percent said they would be embarrassed to have Trump as president, compared to 49 percent who said the same for Hillary Clinton, 45 percent who would be embarrassed with Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, 37 percent with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and just 20 percent for Florida Sen. Marco Rubio.

Of those surveyed, 42 percent identified as Republicans, 31 percent as Democrats, while 8 percent said they did not know and 19 percent declined to state.

“25 percent of federal employees would quit under Trump presidency”

And that’s supposed to be a bad thing. . .?

Maybe he could offer them incentive to quit now?

Go Trump!

As if they would forfeit their cushy jobs, regular paychecks and exorbitant benefits.

Not to mention the opportunity to thwart reform at every turn — from the position of insiders.

Great chance to get a job in the private workplace for half the compensation

This is the first good argument I've heard for electing Trump.

When they see the pay and bennies in the private sector they’ll change their tune.

A good start. This should be filed under the good news category. Sounds like a win-win for everyone involved. Especially if they work for OSHA, CFPB, etc.
