Given the firings/retirement of a bunch of govt employees recently, it’s probably still higher than 1.3 million.
Most people just back into a clearance without realizing they need one, and bounce right through the process.
If you haven’t been convicted of a felony it’s basically falling-off-a-log easy to get cleared. The whole process is a charade.
