The Trump administration has initiated orders for federal agencies to prepare for significant workforce reductions as part of an effort to reform what is characterized as a bloated federal bureaucracy. The memo from the Office of Management and Budget focuses particularly on the Department of Education, suggesting it may undergo heavy cuts. Key directives include eliminating non-statutorily mandated functions and optimizing the use of technology to reduce reliance on outside consultants, while ensuring essential services and positions related to national security and public safety remain unaffected.
The Trump administration's decision for agencies to implement large-scale workforce reductions aligns with its goal to eliminate non-essential functions and aggressively reform the federal government.
The memo emphasizes that reductions should focus on non-mandatory functions and reinforces the administration's stance on diminishing the perceived excesses of the federal workforce.
