The federal workforce needed dramatic restructuring to eliminate fraud, waste, and abuse, and some adjustments during this massive overhaul were always expected. Under the Trump administration, the workforce has been reduced by roughly 300,000, the largest single-year cut in decades, while GSA leadership continues making necessary corrections in the best interest of agencies and taxpayers. Plus, the vast majority of separations were voluntary, not forced.
