Trump Administration Implements Sweeping Federal Workforce Cuts

Massive layoffs and voluntary buyouts reshape U.S. federal agencies as part of cost-cutting measures led by Elon Musk.

The Trump administration has initiated significant reductions to the federal workforce, with over 170,000 job cuts planned across various agencies.
Elon Musk, tasked with leading the government efficiency initiative, has introduced a $25,000 voluntary buyout offer for employees in the Department of Health and Human Services.
The Department of Veterans Affairs, a major employer of veterans, is set to eliminate over 80,000 positions, affecting more than 25% of its workforce.
Critics, including Trump supporters who have lost their jobs, argue that the approach to these cuts is overly aggressive and lacks precision.
Economic analysts warn of potential ripple effects on private sector jobs reliant on federal contracts and funding.
