President Joe Biden released his budget last week and re-emphasized his want for the federal government to become a "model employer" that can compete with the private sector in the race for talent. The budget document contains a series of other workforce and customer service provisions backing up this goal, including a pay raise proposal for federal employees.

GovExec senior reporter Erich Wagner covers the federal workforce. He joined the podcast to discuss the workforce provisions in White House fiscal 2024 budget request released last week.
