Turnover Rate at the White House

On February 12, journalist Mark Leibovich posted a tweet stating that Donald Trump is "unwilling to hire Republicans he considers disloyal and unable to entice Republicans who consider him unstable". In that tweet he posted a link to an article titled "A Whirlwind Envelops the White House, and the Revolving Door Spins". This article examines the high rate of turnover for White House employees under the Trump administration and states that this administration has the highest rate of turnover in decades, at around 34%. To me this article was very interesting because I was unaware of how high the current White House turnover rate was. I knew that there had been some turnover but I did not know the extent of it. This article brought my attention to an issue that is intriguing and that I typically would have been unaware of. [1 image, 2 links, 1 quotation, 142 words].
