Pentagon to fire up to 61,000 workers, starting with 5,400 next week, says DOD
The Pentagon is set to cut 5,400 civilian jobs next week—the first wave in a broader effort to shrink its workforce by up to eight percent. With a focus on probationary employees, the move aligns with a White House push to eliminate roles deemed non-essential. Officials insist it’s about efficiency, but concerns remain over the impact on readiness and veteran employees. As the cuts take effect, a hiring freeze and further reviews will shape the future of the Defense Department’s civilian workforce.
Will the impacts of this action push all the way through to Minot? The answer to that seems likely to come soon; Minot Air Force Base employs civilian employees in considerable numbers.
