People will make choices that will effect government agencies for a while.
Staffing is hard to find for TSA, Border Patrol, Customs and some other positions.
People will leave and do other jobs, they don't come back and now you are really short people.
Longtime staff will retire because they won't want to do the mandatory overtime because they are short staffed.
This stuff adds up and a few percent makes a big difference, especially in a tight labor market.
Currently most employers I know are keeping what would typically be marginal people because they can't replace them or turning down work.
