DOGE Diet: Federal Workforce to Decline by 12% This Year

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
The federal government is on pace to shed about three
hundred thousand workers this year, which would amount to a
reduction of more than twelve percent. Fox Business analyst Brian
Brendberg says, they've done it without mass firings.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
The Department of Education is offering some buyouts. To me,
it's part of the larger picture of Look, those can't
end a department, but they can shrink at big time,
and they're going after it with paychecks to say why
don't you leave if you don't like it.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
The White House estimates eighty percent of those workers will
leave voluntarily, while twenty percent will be fired. Corey Jolson
