President Obama’s budget plan for Fiscal Year 2011 contemplates an increase in legal staff and FBI personnel at DOJ, according to Government Executive.  Overall, the federal workforce will shrink slightly (from 2.15 to 2.11 million), but will remain larger than it was in 2007.  The Commerce Department is facing the largest cuts (some of which will come on account of the 2010 Census having been completed).  Other agencies that will likely see staff gains: Defense, Homeland Security, and Health & Human Services.
