The Federal Work Force Cuts So Far, Agency by Agency

By Elena Shao and Ashley Wu Updated April 1, 2025

April 1, 2025: The layoffs of 10,000 health workers, including those employed at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration, began on Tuesday morning.

Confirmed cuts* At least 56,090
Employees who took buyouts About 75,000
More planned reductions At least 171,080

*Many of these employees have been temporarily reinstated, following court orders.

The (violation of Antideficiency Act) so-called "buyouts" were supposedly going into effect Sept. 30 with people supposedly on "paid leave" until that time (at least when the option was first mentioned early on), but who knows if that is the case now or what as it was done hodgepodge.
