CHANGE (IT BACK): Federal workers bowing to Trump’s order to show up for work.
President Trump’s effort to get federal employees back into their offices for work is proving to be stunningly effective, with the number of full-time in-office employees nearly tripling over the past six months.
Data compiled by Gallup show that 46% of feds were working on-site as of the second quarter of this year. That’s up from 17% in late 2024 under President Biden, and more than double the national average for all workers, at 21%.
The big change has been in hybrid workers — those who spend some time in the office and some time at home. They comprised 61% of the federal workforce last year, but are now just 28%. The rest are fully remote.
“In Washington, the hybrid era is over,” Gallup proclaimed.The change is all the more staggering given how easy it appears to have been achieved.
Just like the border.
