Energy and environmental agencies have seen steep staff reductions so far under the Trump administration, according to a nonprofit’s new tracker.
Across the government, about 150,000 civil servants have left the workforce since this administration took office, according to the tracker launched by the Partnership for Public Service.
Several agencies with energy and environmental portfolios are on the tracker’s list of 10 agencies that have seen the biggest workforce reductions so far in President Donald Trump’s second term. The Agriculture Department ranks No. 2, having lost 21,600 employees this year. The Treasury Department tops the list of workforce reductions.
The Interior Department ranks sixth on the list with 6,250 employee departures; the Energy Department comes in next at No. 7 after 4,972 civil servants left their jobs.
