50 thousand people left their jobs, millions at risk… What is Trump-Musk’s ‘layoff plan’ which deepened the crisis in the US

New Delhi: After becoming the President, Donald Trump’s decisions have heated up the atmosphere not only in many countries of the world but also in America. The latest case is about jobs. In fact, US President Donald Trump has ordered federal agencies to prepare a roadmap for widespread layoffs of government employees. According to a Reuters report, after the layoffs, a plan will also be made to limit new recruitments.

There will be large-scale layoffs and recruitment will decrease

According to the report, it has been asked to make such a plan that in place of all the employees who will be fired, only one-fourth of the people will be kept as new recruits. That is, if 4 people lose their jobs, then there will be only one new recruitment. Even before this decision of Trump, an atmosphere of uncertainty is being seen in America. According to a report, more than 50 thousand people have left their jobs in a few weeks. The risk of millions of people losing their jobs has deepened.

Elon Musk is believed to be behind this decision to reduce the number of government employees. The President has entrusted him with the responsibility of leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). In fact, the jobs of private employees are also protected under federal law. In such a situation, private jobs are also in great danger.

Private sector will be adversely affected

According to the Washington Post report, this plan of the Trump administration can lead to the threat of large-scale job loss in the private sector in the US and the world. According to the Chief Economist Outlook of the World Economic Forum (WEF), challenges are likely to arise in many areas including Europe this year.

Thousands of people lost their jobs, millions at risk

On searching American websites, it is found that thousands of people have lost their jobs in the last two weeks since the cut in federal funding. In fact, the jobs of more than 7.5 million American citizens are directly linked to the federal government.

Big cuts in USAID

The US Agency for International Development (USAID) is forced to make extensive layoffs. It will retain only 294 of its current 10,000 global employees. USAID has also been asked to close its Washington headquarters.

Bad impact in these states

Many people have been fired in Fayetteville, North Carolina and Austin. Jobs of contract workers have been cancelled. There have also been layoffs in West Virginia.

Why is Trump taking away jobs?

Businessman Elon Musk’s big interference is being seen in Trump’s second term. Musk promised on Tuesday that he would save $1 trillion by identifying fraud and wasteful expenditure in the government. Which would be about 15% of the total federal expenditure. For this purpose, Musk is also reducing jobs.
