An announcement can cover more than one opening, and one opening can be announced twice (for the public and for current federal employees), so these are counts of announcements, not of people to be hired.

The announcements themselves (title, agency, grade, pay, location, closing date) as a table you can download: USAJOBS Scraper on Apify, by the maker of this page.
