Getting fired is Mission: Impossible for federal bureaucrats in the Obama era

Federal managers have fired fewer bad employees each year since President Obama took office.

Fewer than 4,900 career civil servants were fired in fiscal year 2013 out of 1.4 million — about one out of every every 300 employees — according to Office of Personnel Management data.

The figures were 5,700 in 2010, 5,500 in 2011, and 5,200 in 2012. Only partial data was available for fiscal 2014, but it was on track for 4,800, the lowest in recent memory.

There are also about 7,700 senior executives in the federal government, who are held to a higher standard than those in the General Schedule rank and file.
