The Department of Defense (DoD) is set to reduce its civilian workforce by 50,000 to 60,000 jobs, as part of a wider initiative by the Trump administration to cut down on the size of the federal workforce and restructure U.S. government agencies.
To reach these cuts, the Defense Department is using three main methods -- encouraging voluntary resignations, firing probationary workers, and leaving positions unfilled as employees naturally leave, Associated Press reported.
