The Trump administration is overseeing the largest one-year cut to the federal workforce in nearly a century, with 154,000 federal employees officially leaving the payroll this week. Those departing had accepted buyouts offered under President Trump’s plan to reduce the size and scope of the federal government.
A federal judge has authorized President Donald Trump's administration to proceed with a significant buyout program for federal employees. The initiative offers voluntary buyouts to 75,000 workers, reducing the federal workforce by 3%. Under the program, participants will receive their salaries through October without the obligation to work during this period.
