Mass Layoffs in Federal Agencies
Significant workforce reductions are occurring across multiple federal agencies, with the Internal Revenue Service preparing to lay off thousands of employees just as tax season approaches. This decision has raised concerns about the ability of the IRS to adequately handle taxpayer needs. Reports indicate that up to 1,300 workers are being let go from the Department of Health and Human Services, while the Department of Energy has reportedly dismissed 2,000 employees, including those from the National Nuclear Security Administration.
