I've been tracking total job openings on the US Government website (usajobs.gov) for the past 5 years, and it's always been constant at around 10K jobs or so. Since 9/23/2025, 87% of them were removed. I'm not speculating the reason, but this is just the data showing it. Jobs were crawled with the Ruby programming language

  2. I’m positive this is a sign of good things to come

  3. Where we’re going, we don’t need government workers or services. Keep those taxes and tariffs rolling in though… Scary stuff.

  5. I was going to say, this must be due to the anticipated shutdown. Trump wants to use it as an excuse to fire a bunch of folks, as well, and likely with no intention of rehiring if/when the shutdown ends.

    Should prove to be just fantastic for the economy.

  10. Every job posting you see is now for ICE. No other department is hiring.

  11. So I get why we see that sudden downturn in 2025, but I’m curious how/why it crawled back up to the average before the huge drop. I would think it would either shoot right back up to that average range, or sort of meander around 7500, maybe decline more gradually, before hitting that cliff again.
