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.

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.
