The federal workforce shrank by 10.3% in 2025, or a net of nearly 238,000 workers, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of recently published government data.

A total of 348,219 people quit, retired, were laid off or otherwise left federal employment last year – an 80.8% increase from 2024. At the same time, 116,912 people started working for the federal government – a 55.6% decrease from the year before.

The job losses affected a broad swath of federal workers, with few noteworthy distinctions among people of different educational attainment, length of federal service and type of appointment (that is, the competitive civil service or otherwise).

Can't say that I've noticed the "loss".

He should try decimation next. The FBI would be a good place to start.

It's too bad we didn't cut spending by 10% to go along with it. One step at a time though. Take the wins where you get 'em.

The other 90% were the result of left-of-center, Neocon policies.
