True but also hasn’t government travel been radically cutback?

My lens only extends to a few economists. I assume most have seen agency travel mostly eliminated, though. That probably has been brutal for these companies.

Oh there has been considerably but given how huge it was even with the cut back it still a ton. Especially when you factor in things like ICE, DHS, FBI, etc. the law enforcement agencies didnt really get cut.

Cutback no.
Spending on DHS border patrol and ICE has exploded with huge hiring bonuses.
For such a smart group of people... some stackers remarkably don't know what is going on.

There was a net reduction of almost a quarter million federal workers and many agencies have imposed travel restrictions internally.

DHS and ICE are a small part of the federal workforce.
