Just a data point for observation:

Several years ago, when I decided to get out of Dodge (er, California), I applied for a few jobs at DoD. Back then, the # of open positions in federal jobs listed on the usajobs.opm.gov website was fixed at between 12,000 – 16,000. This number stayed within that range for the better part of 2 years (mid-2002 through early 2004).

Today’s #: 33,426.

D.C. is quite the boomtown these days.
