BTCCSquare news:
The WHITE House has initiated federal layoffs as the government shutdown enters its tenth day. Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought confirmed the move in a social media post, citing 'reductions in force.' Departments of Health and Human Services and Education are among the first affected, with cuts targeting programs inconsistent with the administration's policy agenda.
Unlike previous shutdowns that led to temporary furloughs, this marks the first instance of permanent layoffs. The decision compounds existing labor market volatility, partly attributed to efficiency-driven federal reductions.
