Secretary McDonough often says that VA’s workforce is our number one asset, and he has made clear time and again that investing in VA employees is our top strategic priority. VA’s aggressive
hiring and retention efforts have helped lead us to the point where we are currently providing more care, and more benefits, to more Veterans than at any time in our nation’s history. To
support VA’s workforce in our mission to serve Veterans, VA is hiring staff at an unprecedented rate. From October 1, 2022, through December 2, 2023, VBA’s workforce has grown by 6,719
employees (26.1 %). This brings the total onboard count to 32,501. We are continuing to hire aggressively, and we will not rest until every VA employee has the resources, they need to feel
supported and deliver world-class care and benefits to Veterans, their families, caregivers, and survivors.
