The last position I interviewed (other people) for, we had over 2,000 total applicants, and this was before the huge swaths of layoffs that are currently happening and being planned.

The country is doomed, literally millions of people are about to be (many of which already are) out of work, while ALL public resources and support are being dissolved by the current regime.

There are over 20 million people employed at the federal, state and local governments in the United States, making it one of if not the largest employer in the world. We're in for a bumpy ride if they get away with such massive layoffs
