About this episode

The Federal Student Aid office is expanding its workforce significantly by hiring 334 new employees to enhance its operations and compliance efforts.

The Federal Student Aid office is expanding its workforce by 45% by 2027, hiring 334 full-time employees to reach a total of 1065. This follows mass layoffs during the Trump era and increased workload from Congress. The new hires will focus on tech, analysis, and legal roles, strengthening fraud investigations, school compliance, and higher education management. The department is also considering breaking up and handing education back to states, but needs Congress for full elimination. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
