Below are the most recent statistics on the total number of employees at the Social Security Administration and some historical numbers for comparison:
- December 2007 61,822
- September 2007 62,407
- June 2007 62,530
- March 2007 61,867
- December 2006 63,410
- September 2006 63,647
- September 2005 66,147
- September 2004 65,258
- September 2003 64,903
- September 2002 64,648
- September 2001 65,377
- September 2000 64,521
- September 1999 63,957
- September 1998 65,629
Note the 2.5% decline in the number of employees between the end of 2006 and the end of 2007, despite Democrats becoming the majority party in Congress and despite the fact that the number of Social Security claims filed increased rapidly.

if you go to Connect and check the VOIP comment you will see how astrue expects to deal with the staff reductions. It's sort of humourous. Because all VOIP really is, is the way the connection works. SSA doesn't provide it's own telephone connectivity now so it's not really a personnel change. It's just go from one contractor to another. Of course, I suspect what astrue really means is that with this new telephony, contracting out labor and privatizing will be easier to accomplish. Your guess is as good as mine as to what he really means, but that's my guess.
