I think it will be precisely the opposite. The people who feel like they are competitive and can easily find another job will stay in DC and any dead-end lifers will move to keep the gig. [/quote]

Pretty much. It's a very good way to keep the "dead wood" and get rid of anyone who decides they don't want to move and can get hired somewhere else. [/quote]

I resigned recently. I have a PhD in Statistics and an undergrad/master's in ag economics. I loved working there and was there for a long time, but honestly they are doing this to essentially shut the office down and wind down the work we have been doing. For pretty terrible reasons:

Fun fact: we help set pricing for goods. Without our data, consumers could be screwed left and right if the government chose to hike prices.

People have no clue what we do, and that's fine, but if you don't know then you definitely will be surprised.
