The new human resource chief announced on Thursday that Trump’s administration is expected to reduce approximately 300,000 federal jobs this year, representing a 12.5% reduction in the government’s workforce since January.
The director of the Staff Administration Scott Much said that 80% of the expected reduction of labor would result from voluntary departures, while the remaining 20% would be caused by missiles. This means almost twice the 154,000 employees who accepted the purchase last month.
Since joining the office in January, President Donald has launched a large effort to reduce the size of the federal civil workforce of 2.4 million members and claimed that he is too large and ineffective.
“I can’t force people to put people off”
“I can’t force people to release people,” the mourning told Washington on Thursday. He said he would have to convince the cabinet secretaries to buy their vision of government efficiency.
The notes contrast with the first few months of the second term of Trump, when the OPM leadership explicitly ordered the agencies to release employees of their new roles, according to the court.
If the monsor estimate is accurate, the number of employees leaving federal labor will be more than twice the 5.9% wear of the US government’s civil workforce in the fiscal year 2023, the last rate of voluntary departures compiled by the non -profit partnership for public service.
The monsor did not provide specific data on the number of employees for individual federal agencies and noted that the Office for Personnel Management of these figures will publish later.
He also said that government agencies are preparing proposals for further reduction of labor, which will be submitted to the White House’s budget director Russ Vox. These proposals will inform the President’s upcoming budget request for Congress. The Mournment added that he met officials from the budget office on Wednesday to discuss this process.
