It is budget season on Capitol Hill and agency leaders are busy defending their 2025 spending plans in front of the appropriations committees. And it’s possible the House could finish its appropriations bills this summer. But it’s still very unlikely we’ll have a full budget passed before the end of the fiscal year. For more on where things stand, Federal News Network's Deputy Editor Jared Serbu spoke with longtime budget watcher Larry Allen. He’s president of Allen Federal Business Partners. Learn

Whole-of-government suicide-prevention strategy

The Federal Drive with Terry Gerton ·

2024/05/21

The federal government has a new strategy to prevent suicide. It is the first time the strategy has been updated in a decade, and the agencies leading the effort say it will be a whole-of-government and whole-of-society approach. And, for the first time, the new strategy comes with a detailed action plan that lays out exactly what federal agencies will do – including some agencies you might not necessarily think of when it comes to suicide prevention. Brandon Johnson is Chief of the Suicide

When seeing the Best Places to Work in the Federal Government results this year, many agencies may be breathing a sigh of relief. It’s not necessarily because of where they landed in the rankings. Rather, it’s because there appears to be a broader atmospheric shift for the federal workforce. The Partnership for Public Service and Boston Consulting Group released the 2023 Best Places to Work results Monday.

Navy grapples with at-sea shortages as recruiting lags

The Federal Drive with Terry Gerton ·

2024/05/20

Over the past year, the Navy has had, on average, about 18,000 unfilled positions on its ships. The reason is pretty straightforward: there simply aren’t enough sailors in the service because of ongoing recruiting challenges. In 2023, the Navy missed its recruiting goal by about 7,000 sailors. Nonetheless, officials say the picture appears to be improving: last year, the service onboarded 6,000 more uniformed service members than it did in 2022, and so far this year, it’s about 2,900 recruits ahead

Do federal employees make more or less than people with similar jobs in the private sector? It's a question often asked, often answered, and never settled. The latest effort comes from the Congressional Budget Office, which looked at the question using 2022 wage data. It found federal pay and benefits superior for those with high school diplomas or less education. But the private sector paid better for those with doctorates or professional degrees.
