1.10.4: Federal Workforce
Reduce the size of the federal workforce through attrition. Other Information:
The federal government currently employs about two million people, and extends federal staffing through thousands more contractors.
Washington needs to learn to do more with less, using fewer resources to accomplish existing goals without risking a decline
in essential government services. Over time, the Commission recommends cutting the government workforce – including civilian
defense – by 10 percent, or by 200,000. As part of the transition to a smaller, more efficient workforce, this would mean
hiring only two new workers for every three who leave service. This proposal will save $13.2 billion in 2015.
