What are the hiring rates for 2011 likely to be? How many people will be hired for the Foreign Service?
There are no precise hiring targets, but with the Department’s budget decreasing or at best leveling, hiring will be significantly lower in 2011 and 2012 than it has been in the past couple of years. Neither number nor size of entering classes has been set yet. If hiring is only to even out attrition, that will depend on the number of current FSOs retiring or resigning so could be on the order of any of the numbers you mention.
