The cuts are for the period Jan-June 2025.
The majority of layoffs this year have been from the federal government—a total of 292,294 since the year started—as President Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) continues its mission to scale down the size of numerous agencies. There have also been knock-on effects for contractors and organizations reliant on public funding, which the report calls the "DOGE Downstream Impact.".
