Excerpt
Excerpt: Federal employees, it turns out, fare amazingly well when pitted against contractors in public-private job competitions. In 2003, 89 percent of federal jobs that were subjected to a full competition or streamlined competition remained in-house, according to a Feb. 27 report by the General Accounting Office. That number trumps an already convincing 75 percent success rate for employees in 2002. The numbers were drawn from competitions held by six large departments that, combined, comprise 84 percent of the commercial positions in the executive branch. Although the report detailed how many federal jobs remained in-house when subjected to contractor competition, it did not include details on how many competitions were won and lost by federal agencies.
