Um ... YOW. Now THAT is an aging workforce. You wonder how the government wound up with 45% of its workers in only four agencies within such a tight age range of each other. I mean, if they'd just opened up at the same time and hired all at once and so on, then it would make sense, but State is one of the original departments, FEMA one of the newer ones ... it's very peculiar that it's hitting all at once like that.
Just looking at the sorts of things they want to do, you get the impression that the Budget is going to get a MASSIVE jolt. And under a Republican, too. That's going to thoroughly complicate the issues come campaign time. Especially since revenues will be in a precipitous decline.
