Thousands of federal workers have been laid off or issued immediate
termination notifications as part of the Trump administration’s
plan to cut spending and downsize the federal government. In recent
months, however, hundreds of employees have had their firings
rescinded or, in some departments, paused by court orders, though
several Supreme Court rulings have sided with President Donald
Trump and allowed the firings for more than a dozen agencies to
resume. At the end of last week, the State Department was one of
those agencies, laying off roughly 9% of its workforce.
CNN is tracking the evolving situation at federal offices in
Washington and across the United States. Last week, the Department
of Veterans Affairs walked back its plans to conduct mass layoffs,
so it is no longer included in the tracker below. This page will be
updated as new reporting becomes available.
Here is what we know about the cuts so far, by select federal
departments and agencies:
At least 51,224 workers have been laid off or targeted for layoffs
from federal agencies so far
Data as of July 14, 2025.
Note: This updated graphic no longer includes the Department of
Veterans Affairs and the Social Security Administration, both of
which have said they no longer plan to conduct mass firings or
layoffs and will instead cut through attrition and other means.

This story has been updated with additional information.
Methodology | CNN talked to federal agencies and impacted workers
directly, analyzed dozens of statements and internal memos from
government officials and evaluated additional reporting from
Associated Press, NPR, Politico, New York Times, ABC News and
Reuters to determine the approximate number of workers impacted
from federal departments and agencies. These numbers are subject to
change based on updated figures from government officials and
various media reports. In some instances, data includes announced
firings, reports of announced firings or reinstated positions. For
this project, CNN is not tracking federal workers placed on
administrative leave or those who take voluntary buyouts. If data
for the subagencies of a Cabinet-level department are included
above, the parent department is excluded, except for State and
USAID, which appear separately and their counts are distinct
because the firings happened before their official merger of July
1, 2025.
