About this episode
The federal workforce experienced a significant decline in the first year of President Trumps second term, with a net loss of nearly 238,000 employees. This was primarily due to quits, retirements, and layoffs, driven by a push to cut what the administration called an oversized bureaucracy. Agencies like the Department of Education and the U.S. Agency for International Development saw major cuts. The changes mostly affected white-collar jobs and younger workers.
