Around 10,000 federal workers have been fired as part of the Trump administrations plans for “large-scale reductions” in the government workforce.

The total job cuts amount to nearly 4% of the federal government’s 2.3 million workers, and around 220,000 had less than one year's experience.

The layoff notices are the next step taken by the administration to downsize the workforce.
