According to a recent analysis of federal job postings, the Biden-Harris government is recruiting up to 1,200 staff for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) roles. These positions, advertised with annual salaries reaching $310,000, could collectively amount to $160 million annually. The hiring effort is timed to rush onboarding new federal employees before President-elect Donald J. Trump takes office in January.

At least 33 DEI roles were advertised shortly after Trump’s election. The application window for these roles is timed to close before he is set to be inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States.

Trump has repeatedly promised to uproot the Deep State and fire federal employees who attempt to undermine his policies. However, the hiring frenzy appears aimed at stacking the government with new ideologues to resist the President-elect. Notably, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced a vacancy for a Deputy Assistant Secretary for Minority Health on November 15, offering a salary up to $221,900. This role, which aims to advance health “equity,” closed applications by November 29, and the current administration is reviewing applicants.

Notable agencies like the Federal Deposit Insurance Commission (FDIC) are seeking to fill positions with substantial remuneration. A Director of the Office of Minority and Women Inclusion role is listed with a telecommuting option and a $310,000 salary. This position is tasked with developing and executing DEI strategies across the FDIC.

Similarly, other federal entities are pursuing roles to bolster DEI frameworks. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) recently entertained applications for an affirmative employment specialist, while the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is reviewing candidates for a supplier diversity officer position.

Some agencies have discontinued DEI-related job postings, including a canceled Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility Advisor role at the State Department.
