Trump Administration, Reversing Trend, Sheds 11,000 Federal Employees in Six Months

The Trump administration has shed nearly 11,000 federal employees during its first six months, reversing a two year trend of gains throughout the executive branch.

A July jobs report released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics Friday showed non-postal federal agencies employed 2,188,900 workers at the end of the month, down 2,200 from June and 10,700 from January, when Trump took office. President Trump has prioritized shrinking the civilian workforce, issuing an executive order -- and follow up guidance through the Office of Management and Budget -- calling on agencies to develop short and long-term strategies to cut employees. Agencies turned in preliminary drafts for those plans on June 30, which also required leaders to spell out what steps they have already taken to trim their rolls.

He's not shedding jobs, he's just too lazy to fill those jobs.

More doesn't mean more efficient. With technology and motivated workers, you would be surprised how a leaner government can operate.

I also find it ironic and odd that so many are quick to point out that a job moved to Mexico not because of cheap labour but because of improved technology. Without going into how much of a fallacy this is (as the same technology should replace Mexican workers, right?), the same argument should be applied to white collar government service workers. Overlapping responsibilities and technology can replace many people also.

Nothing has been said about meat inspectors, but doctors and anesthesiologists don't work for the federal government. In addition, police and fire departments are funded at the state and local level.

Imbicile.

Ever hear of the USDA? They are meat inspectors...The VA hires many, many doctors but far fewer anesthesiologists, there is a fund which the feds give to local police depts to help fund activities ...
