The Office of Personnel Management on Thursday morning provided the most up-to-date federal workforce numbers that we’ve seen so far, reporting that about 154,000 federal employees opted into the deferred resignation program (DRP) and left their agencies this year.
Friedman than lists how this number contrasts with reports by Sen. Richard Blumenthal - 200,000; Partnership for Public Service - 148,000; and a day later OPM Director Scott Kupor - 300,000+.
