Nearly one in five federal civilian workers have left their jobs since President Trump began his second term, according to a Washington Post analysis cited by @unusual_whales. About 426,000 full-time civilian employees departed in the first 18 months, out of a workforce of roughly 2.2 million. Most of those separations were resignations or retirements, while approximately 32,000 were firings or other involuntary departures. The scale of the exodus matters because it reshapes the federal labor force and could affect agency capacity and service delivery. What to watch next is whether the pace of departures slows and how agencies backfill roughly 426,000 vacated roles.
