Federal Reserve Announces Significant Staff Reductions
The Federal Reserve has announced plans to reduce its workforce by approximately 10% over the next few years. According to a memo from Chairman Jerome Powell, these cuts will primarily occur through attrition. This decision is part of a broader strategy to streamline operations and manage resources more effectively. Various reports indicate that the reductions will impact several departments, although specifics on where the cuts will come from have yet to be detailed.
