The departments of Agriculture, the Interior and Energy are among the federal agencies that have seen the deepest cuts to their workforces under the Trump administration so far.
Those departments are among the 10 federal agencies that have lost the most workers this year through “involuntary and voluntary workforce reductions” as the Trump team vows to continue to dramatically downsize the government, according to an updated tracker from the nonprofit Partnership for Public Service.
The tracker, updated Tuesday, estimates that more than 199,000 civil servants have left the workforce this year.
By the end of the year, the Office of Personnel Management is expecting about 300,000 total departures from the federal government since the start of this administration, OPM spokesperson McLaurine Pinover said Tuesday in an email.
