Turnover, Hiring, and the Changing Face of the Federal Service

Using a 1% sample of personnel records for full-time, white-collar workers in the federal domestic agencies, I document how levels of education, experience, and age have risen over the past one-third century. The changing mix of occupations – clerical jobs fell by three-fourths and administrative jobs doubled – has contributed to rising qualifications, but educational and experience levels have risen within each occupational category. Current age and experience distributions mean that turnover will rise over the next decade, making hiring patterns even more important. I document how much older, more educated, and more diverse federal new hires have become over time and how changing occupational mix affects that.
