How do the 8,000 Schedule Policy/Career jobs by agency compare to unions' 50,000?

"OPM estimates around 50,000 positions could be affected, but the number could be higher depending on how roles are interpreted."

"OPM estimates roughly 50,000 positions could be moved initially into Schedule P/C, but it is unclear how far Schedule P/C could reach."

"OPM estimated about 50,000 employees would be placed into Schedule Policy/Career."

"Lists of positions agencies identify as falling under Schedule P/C have been submitted to OPM, which said they number around 50,000."

"But plaintiffs in a recent lawsuit warned that the number could ultimately be much higher."

"Federal employee unions have said the number could eventually be well above the administration's estimate of 50,000, given how broadly agencies began interpreting it in the first Trump Administration."

"In the days following the Trump administration’s June 3 finalization of Schedule Policy/Career, close to 8,000 career federal employees received notice they had officially lost their civil service protections."

"The administration had initially projected that about 50,000 employees involved in making or carrying out policy potentially would move from the competitive service to the new excepted service category."

"The five departments with the greatest number of transfers include Defense, Homeland Security, Health and Human Services, Treasury, and Commerce."

"OPM originally estimated 50,000 federal employees would be put in the new schedule. But the White House’s June 3 orders converted fewer than 8,000 workers."

"Federal employee unions and other organizations meanwhile had suggested that the figure could go far higher, on the order of twice as much."

"The order transfers approximately 8,000 employees in over 4,800 positions to Schedule Policy/Career."

"the initial list announced in June of some 8,000 employees across some 4,800 positions fell well short of those projections"

"This initial order transfers significantly fewer employees to Schedule Policy/Career than the 50,000 initially estimated."

"The appendix lists over 4,800 positions within 54 major agencies. Note, the number of positions is not the same as the number of employees, because multiple employees may occupy the same position."

"The Office of Management and Budget transferred 137 positions within its workforce of 518 employees. By contrast, the Department of Agriculture transferred only 81 positions within a workforce of over 74,000 employees."
