#1,989 - Audit reveals 80% of all Fed Office Space is vacant - your taxpayers dollars at work

The Agriculture Department is headquartered at the gateway between Washington and Virginia in a building rich with history – but on any given day, roughly 90% of it sits empty.

That’s not an anomaly.

The Government Accountability Office (GAO) surveyed two dozen federal agencies and found they averaged a roughly 80% vacancy rate during the study period earlier this year. Not a single agency topped 50% use, GAO reported.

Investigators said excess space has been a “long-standing challenge,” but the coronavirus pandemic and growing demands by employees to be allowed to telework raised the problem to crisis levels, with the government paying for massive square footage it just doesn’t need anymore.
