0:36Now PlayingThe Education Department is laying off nearly 50% of its staff.
The U.S. Department of Education on Tuesday announced the cuts, impacting more than 1,300 of its employees. Included in the cutting of staff are nearly 600 employees who accepted the voluntary resignation offer and retirement over the last seven weeks, the agency said. The Education Department’s staff will now sit at roughly half of its previous 4,100.
The layoffs are part of a dramatic downsizing directed by Trump as he moves to reduce the footprint of the federal government. Thousands of jobs are expected to be cut across the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Social Security Administration and other agencies.
