The Wall Street Journal
The Trump administration has intensified its efforts to downsize the federal workforce, with a focus on employees who have been on the job for less than a year. This latest phase of personnel cuts is expected to impact hundreds of workers, sparking concerns about the stability of the federal workforce. As the administration continues to streamline its operations, federal job security has become a major concern, with keywords like 'federal layoffs' and 'government job cuts' trending in recent news. The move is seen as part of a broader effort to reduce bureaucracy and optimize government efficiency, but critics argue it may have unintended consequences on public services.
