People need to stop with the "all" part. That's not how tax incidence ever works in reality.

At the time of these numbers, I don't think even 100 thousand federal workers had left their positions. Of those who did, most were likely going to leave their positions in the near future anyway. The number of people accepting the first Deferred Resignation Program was in line with the normal churn of the federal workforce.
Many more federal positions are being vacated this quarter, though, and I expect that to have a really noticeable impact on the labor force.

When do you think we will feel that?

I don't think any of them are willing or able to do your job, so you may not notice.
The timeline is different per agency, but I think lots of them have already hit the market from HHS, Ed, and USDA.

My wife lost her job, that's my concern now.

Yeah, if there are feds who do the same jobs she does, there will be more competition. The nice thing is most of them are big city snobs who don't want to leave DC.
I heard that when the Economic Research Service moved to Kansas City, 80% of the employees quit.

Good news for us then.
