Tornado Alley (PROG)

[OMOLIVES]

No one should be surprised by any rehiring. Number one...it's Government beurocracy....and number 2....when you have sliced over 130,000 Fed jobs with another 100,000 to go, you are going to have some rehires.

I don't think anyone has looked into the past. But the target is 2015 employment levels with CIV FED employment with many/some of these agencies. The Goverment employee totals have increaed well over 20% since 2015.

That is absurd...especially given the crap labor participation rate.

And regarding the National Weather Service...the goal is the employment level being close to those 2015 levels. Interesting to note with some past issues regarding NWS....they have/had a terrible vacancy problem and horrible hiring process. Like really bad-and this is circa 2015 as well. Take it from the source:

NWS collects billions of weather and climate observations annually, which are fed into its supercomputer forecasting models. In fiscal year 2016, NWS had 4,218 employees, of whom 3,629 were in operational units, and NOAA’s budget for NWS was approximately $1.1 billion, according to NWS documentation

In 2025 ..guess how many were employeed prior to any action...;)

Well...add a rough 700 employees.
