Bloomberg Government published an article discussing the relocation of several government agencies to the Midwest. Now, there is a problem with recruitment. Some hope that President-elect Joe Biden will reverse this relocation once he is in office. Senior Research Fellow Joseph Glauber disagreed with the Trump Administration’s decision to move the agencies. Much of the agency’s work is used by government officials and other industries in Washington. “I just thought that was a very cynical and calculated move to get people to essentially drop out. If you make a move like that, you’re going to lose a good proportion of people that work in that agency.” But reversing the decisions could cause more hurdles and called the possibility of an ERS relocation “problematic,” as another move would further disrupt lives and rack up costs.
