The Trump administration will likely shed around 300,000 workers this year, its new human resources chief said on Thursday, which would amount to a 12.5% decrease in the federal workforce since January.
Office of Personnel Management director Scott Kupor said 80% of those workers would leave voluntarily and only 20% would be fired. It amounts to nearly a doubling of the 154,000 workers that Reuters reported had taken buyouts last month.
