One-Third of Federal Work Force May Quit
By JONATHAN D. SALANT Associated Press Writer
<http://news.findlaw.com/ap/a/w/1155/3-26-2003/20030326003004_11.html>
WASHINGTON (AP) - More than one-third of federal employees say they are
thinking about leaving their jobs as the Bush administration considers
allowing private industry to bid for more government work, a survey shows.
While most federal workers like their jobs and say pay and benefits are
OK, 35 percent of respondents said they might leave anyway. Critics of the
administration's policy said the workers fear that their jobs won't be
around.
"Basically, you might like your job but you might not have your job for
another year," said Paul Light, a senior fellow at the Brookings
Institution and professor of public service at New York University.
"There's a lot of anxiety in the federal government."
Kay Coles James, director of the federal Office of Personnel Management,
said the survey did not look at whether efforts to shift government jobs
to the private sector were causing some employees to consider quitting.
But she acknowledged that the findings were a "red flag" for the agency.
