2:54Now PlayingNearly 1,000 miles away from the nation’s capital, cuts to the federal government are having a profound impact.
More than 200 people lined the sides of North Highway 67 in North St. Louis County in early March to rally against the mass firings and layoffs of government employees. The American Federation of Government Employees, which represents more than 800,000 federal government employees, led the rally. Leaders told PBS News’ Gabrielle Hays the union has been fielding calls from workers worried about the future of their employment.
By then end of 2024, the federal government employed more than 57,000 people in Missouri, according to state and federal government numbers.
