A report by the Library of Congress has interesting tables showing Social Security’s staffing levels by month by state since the beginning of last year. I’d love to reproduce the table here but it’s just too big. It’s fascinating and horrifying. You’ll have to click on the link to see for yourself.
This data ends in February, but the trend continues. Since February, about 180 more employees have retired or otherwise separated.
ReplyDeleteSSA seems to be attempting to hire temporary summer interns at the GS-4 level to plug in some holes.
The SSA workforce is far from perfect but they go to work everyday knowing that the agency is understaffed and that this administration would love to replace them as much as possible with AI. Survey’s show that public still wants to deal with in person service and that’s why appointments take months.
