2025 United States federal mass layoffs
Summary
About 300,000 United States federal civil service layoffs have been announced by the second Trump administration, almost all of them attributed to the Department of Government Efficiency. On August 26, 2025, the Partnership for Public Service said just under 200,000 federal workers had already left their jobs. As of July 14, 2025, CNN has tracked at least 51,224 workers laid off or targeted for layoffs. As of May 12, 2025, The New York Times tracked more than 58,500 confirmed cuts, more than 76,000 employee buyouts, and more than 149,000 other planned reductions; cuts total 12% of the 2.4 million civilian federal workers. By March 2026, 9% of the federal workforce has been eliminated.
