Donald Trump to Achieve the Largest Cut in Federal Workforce in 80 Years US President Donald Trump in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, DC, US, onWill Oliver/EPA/Bloomberg via Getty Lowell Cauffiel22 Aug 2025194 3:12 In what is being called the largest single-year cut in civilian federal employment since World War II, 2025 will end with 300,000 fewer workers employed by the United States government.
New Office of Personnel Management (OPM) Director Scott Kupor told several news outlets, most recently the New York Times, that the federal workforce will drop from 2.4 million to 2.1 million employees, largely as the result of the Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) efforts.
In a lengthy interview this week with Washington, DC, station WTOP, Kupor said that up to 80 percent of the reductions come from federal workers choosing to access buyouts or another program that paid them while they looked for other work.
“I think the team that designed those did as much as they could to be appropriately generous and give people as long of a runway as they could to go transition into something,” Kupor told the station.
The other 20 percent were fired, Kupor told Reuters in a previous interview. The total reduction amounts to a 12.5 percent decrease in the federal workforce of approximately 2.3 million. …

There still a million to many.
When Schumer shuts down the government, which he will do, Trump will simply lay people off by the tens of thousands and the dems are to blame.
Trump always said these guys were stupid politicians.
2.3 million too many, yes.
I voted for this. Keep it up.
The real trick will get them to leave NOVA. They will try to stay in the area, vote for a blue governor, then wait out the current president.
They rule the elections in Virginia.
Let’s see how many of these government “employees” can find work in the private sector. Nearly all of them are worthless, two bit four flushing democrat maggots. /spit
“The total reduction amounts to a 12.5 percent decrease in the federal workforce of approximately 2.3 million.”
Yes, a wonderful start!
“There still a million to many.”
Yep, my round number too. That leaves approximately 1,500,000 leach-sucking federal employees left which is still a half-million short of the parasitic overstaffing. President Trump has bought the nation a few years but no clear path to a balanced budget in our lifetimes as long as we have the dems/RINOs/GOPe/uniparty/deep state to run things.
The real cuts need to be to the armies of support service contractors. It’s another scam like the NGO scam.
How much did the federal workforce grow since 2021?
Seems many “ cuts” are just returning agency personnel back to their 2019-21 levels, when strangely just as much work was done
During his 2 terms, Bill Clinton reduced the “workforce” by over 400K - where were the whiners then?
Most of the reductions under President Clinton were military or DoD civilians. Here are the numbers according to Grok
Military: -308,009
DoD civilians:-240,000
Non DoD civilians:-139,000
Thus 63% of the cuts were from Defense.
I know this to be true.
That’s great but a long way to go...we have to rid our government of all infestation of democrats...there are many more that what have left so far...
I recall this. We had ‘won’ the Cold War, the ”end of history” was at hand, and all would be clear sailing into the New Millennium. No real need for a heavy defense establishment was there.
And most of us will never notice the difference.
We need to cut this many again and then again.
There are still 2.1 million. Larger than most cities. We have about 2 million too many.
