NoteThe claim asserts that 40% of the US Government Technology Workforce's IT professionals are retirement-eligible as of 2025-12. While the source article discusses federal workforce staffing challenges, retirements, and IT workforce issues (mentioning 2210s—the job series for federal IT and cybersecurity professionals), it does not provide the specific statistic claimed. The source discusses GSA losing 40% of its *total* workforce (not IT-specific) and mentions EPA backfilling positions due to retirements, but does not quantify what percentage of IT professionals are retirement-eligible. The claim's specific data point is not addressed in the source text.
