Generally, the information does not show any discernable patterns. More than half of the 24 agencies GAO reviewed reported career hiring increases of 10 percent or more between July and December 2000 compared to the same period in 1999. A similar number of agencies, although not necessarily the same agencies, reported increases of 10 percent or more for 1999, compared to 1998. Although the percentage changes exceeded 10 percent for most agencies, the actual number of hires were often small. The total number of career and Senior Executive Service employees on board in each of the 24 CFO agencies remained relatively stable during the three-year period. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-1147R/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-1147R.htm GAO-01-1147R https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-1147R Correspondence GAO-01-1147R; Federal Employees: Hiring Patterns at Federal Agencies Just Prior to a Change in Administration; Federal employees Hiring policies Labor force Personnel management Senior Executive Service
