The U.S. Office of Personnel Management, or OPM, plans to upgrade FedScope, a platform that provides statistics of federal employment. The agency announced in a press release on Tuesday that the move of the site is part of a broader effort to modernize its data and digital platforms.

Changes to FedScope
Changes to the FedScope website have already started, including publishing updated data on employment, accessions and separations through March. OPM plans to further enhance the platform in the coming months by adding interactive visuals, thorough datasets and response mechanisms to answer common queries about federal employment. The new website is expected to launch by fall, seeking to address the needs of researchers, journalists, federal managers and the public.
According to the Federal News Network, the current data on the FedScope website does not completely reflect the federal workforce overhauls during the Trump administration.
The Government Accountability Office previously recommended in a 2016 report that the OPM should modernize its FedScope platform and improve the availability of payroll data in the Enterprise Human Resources Integration system.
Remarks by OPM’s Chuck Ezell
Commenting on the overhaul of FedScope, OPM Acting Director Chuck Ezell said, “Data transparency is essential to building trust in the federal government.”
“By modernizing FedScope, weʼre delivering on our promise to make federal workforce data easier to access and understand, ensuring the public and agencies alike have the information they need to make informed decisions.”
