How hard have US agencies been hit by Trump and Musk's layoffs?
FEB 21: U.S. President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk, one of his closest advisers, have mounted a sweeping campaign to slash the size of the 2.3 million-strong federal workforce, firing more than 20,000 employees in an unprecedented and chaotic effort that shows no sign of slowing. The layoffs were primarily aimed at workers who have been in their current jobs for less than a year, who have fewer job protections than longer-tenured staffers. In addition, about 75,000 workers have accepted buyouts from the Trump administration. The Trump administration has yet to give a total number for how many people it has fired. Here are details on some of the layoffs at federal departments and agencies gleaned by Reuters reporters so far.
