Federal work-from-home numbers raise questions after shocking report leak

A news-making NY Post story brought up some eye-catching stats about fed workers attendance habits‚ based on a non-public research done by Sen. Joni Ernstʼs office

The report (made together with spending-watch group Open the Books) shows surprising numbers: just 6% of federal staff go to office full-time; while one-third work fully from home - making tax-payers wonder about government workplace policies

The findings got quick social-media boost when Elon Musk - who got picked by Trump to look into government spending - shared it on his social platform; however the research isnt shown on Ernstʼs official gov website which makes some question its data-points
