Old Government

Often times while looking for work I see and read reports that many government employees are going to be retiring soon. The government work force is old. Many times we here how inefficient the government is. Could the two be related? Over the last 15 years we have moved to computers and applications that constantly change. It is my guess that a younger government workforce would be able to adapt quicker raising efficiency. Something to think about. Its one of those types of jobs that once you get you just keep.
