In 2020 SSA Had Its Lowest Staffing In At Least 25 Years

      Social Security has released its Annual Statistical Supplemental for 2020, the mother lode of statistics about Social Security.

     Below is an interesting table from the Statistical Supplement. I often post Office of Personnel Management statistics showing the number of employees the agency has. This can be misleading since some are part time or out sick. The table below shows the number of work years. Click on the image to view full size. Notice the decline after Republicans gained control of Congress in the 2010 election. In 2020 the agency had the lowest staffing level in at least 25 years.
