Thousands of federal workers are seeking employment after being affected by President Donald Trump’s cost-cutting efforts within the government.
An official number of federal workers fired has not been released, but the list extends into the thousands. Most of the federal government’s workforce is based outside the Washington, D.C. area.
"If you’re doing, say, vegetation sampling and prescribed fire as your main work, there aren’t many jobs," Eric Anderson, 48, of Chicago, told the Associated Press. Anderson was fired Feb. 14 from his job as a biological science technician at Indiana Dunes National Park.
Cathy Nguyen, 51, of Honolulu, was laid off last month from her job at USAID, where she helped manage the PEPFAR program, which combats HIV/AIDS. "It’s requiring me to rethink how I want to spend my professional life," Nguyen shared with the AP.

Welcome to the pain of the private sector - less money and less security.
President Donald Trump’s administration is offering buyouts to federal employees to quickly reduce the government workforce through the deferred resignation program.
The buyouts are for all full-time federal employees except for military personnel, employees of the U.S. Postal Service and those in positions related to immigration enforcement and national security. Workers will receive roughly eight months of salary if they accept the offer, the Associated Press reported.
Follow Slow Joe Bidens advice: Learn to code.
In her acronymy world, she was cut short.
So, learn to code - works for the fired oil pipeline workers, eh?
“If you’re doing, say, vegetation sampling and prescribed fire as your main work, there aren’t many jobs,”
Kinda like all of those expensive but completely useless college degree’s these a-hole’s push.
Learn to code
And they will have to fight the stigma of being the lazy government worker, whether correct or not.
Did this same leftist clown say the same about the thousands of Keystone Pipeline employees laid off?
You are not entitled to a job. You have to earn it through work and performance. Only terminated federal employees deserve sympathy? Nonsense. Another feckless sob story.
A lot of federal employees have gone through this, outside of the military there just isn’t a lot of work for artilleryman, or machine gunner.
maybe a landscaping job, or washing dishes, or cleaning houses, or hard labor such as masonry, concrete work, roofing, paving, etc.
or just go into business for yourself!
Many of these government emmployees are unemployable in any setting than a government job.
These former Fed employees should be looking for employers who are in need of hiring a PROBLEM EMPLOYEE.
Correct!
