Retired feds rally for second tour of acquisition duty

  • By FCW Staff
  • May 20, 2011
To offset its shrinking acquisition workforce, the government rehired 125 retired federal employees, or annuitants, in 2010, a drop from 2009’s 140, reports Jason Miller on FederalNewsRadio.com.

The Army rehired the most annuitants with 44 in 2010, followed by the Air Force and Defense Department with 18 each. The Agriculture Department rehired 12 annuitants, the most of any civilian agency.

If a government job is so much in demand and so overpaid, why do they have to go out and rehire retirees? Or is it that the job pay is so poor that only the unqualified are applying? (Federalnewsradio seems to be blocked here).

I know that we have two retirees working with us via a contractor because they could not get qualified folks who would work (i.e. not be a stereotype) to take the job at the pay the gov is offering.
