It was reported in other news that it would be 2 percent of the total number of employees at Booz Allen. Assuming Booz Allen's current head count total is 34,000.
Two percent of 34,000, equals 680 layoffs, for the math challenged liberal arts majors struggling to figure out that tricky answer or even for the technical degree holders who did not pay much attention in high school math class.
If Booz Allen holds true to the 2 percent figure, which is looking likely, that is a lot of layoffs happening quickly at Booz Allen.
