The U.S. is witnessing significant layoffs among federal workers, marked by mass firings initiated by the Trump and Musk administrations. Approximately 83,000 workers face job cuts, raising concerns about the impact on essential services and local economies. Amid this turbulence, there is uncertainty surrounding the job market and the implications for federal agencies, especially within space science and energy sectors. Experts warn that the reduction of federal jobs could lead to a substantial economic burden and threaten U.S. leadership. As agencies prepare for large-scale reorganizations, former employees voice their concerns about the future of federal services and the continuing ramifications of these layoffs.
