Almost impossible to adjudicate.

So far there have been a lot more firings it seems. But I can't bet :(

By "fire" you mean net change in total federal employees? Or literal total firings, not including layoffs or subtracting hirings?

@placebo_username Layoffs/firings. Not net change. So firing 100 and hiring 200 would still count as 100 fired.

@Shai Is that data public?

@placebo_username I don't think so. But if large numbers are fired it will make the news, and 'DOGE' seem committed to transparency.

In any case, if there is no consensus or it's too close to call I'll resolve NA.

edit:

It is public! https://www.fedscope.opm.gov/

assuming you can makes sense of graphs like this:
