A report from the Government Accountability Office (GAO) indicates that turnover in key occupations threatens VA’s ability to deliver on its mission. Specifically, about a third of VA’s workers in 2017—including many senior leaders—would be eligible to retire by 2022. Some allied health professions are mentioned as being mission-critical occupations and clinical occupations.
