The president of the United States, Donald Trump, signed an executive order so that federal agencies feel the basis for generalized dismissals of government workers in the coming months.
The decree will force agencies to work with the Elon Musk government reform unit to identify large -scale personnel reductions and determine which agency components can be completely eliminated, said a White House official.
The measure is Trump's last effort to reduce and align the United States government with the political priorities of the US president.
It will also establish rules that will require that government agencies do not hire more than one employee for every four workers who leave the Federal Labor, according to the official.
Federal employees whose work is “crucial for national security, public security, the application of the law and the application of immigration laws” would be exempt, added the official.
Trump has said that measures are necessary for the government to work more efficiently.
The new measures strengthen the Government Efficiency Department (Doge) to carry out radical government cuts, limit hiring and restructure the government to focus on Trump's agenda.
It is likely that legal challenges since a purchase plan for federal employees remains blocked in the courts and a judge has arrested efforts to license the workers of the United States Agency for International Development.
In the United States there are about 2.3 million civilian employees, not counting the postal service. Security -related agencies represent most of the federal workforce, but hundreds of thousands of people work throughout the country in positions that include the supervision of the medical care of veterans, the inspection of agriculture and the payment of Government invoices, among others.
The proportion of federal employees as a percentage of the total non -agricultural workforce, now less than 2 %, has been decades for decades.
