The Department of Government Efficiency fired more public workers through March under Elon Musk than all previous data monitored since 1989. According to Challenge Gray and Christmas data from March shows the worldwide staff decrease totaled 275240 workers. The majority of these cuts stem directly from DOGE’s efforts to streamline federal agencies.
Public sector agencies caused the highest number of job losses in March according to Andrew Challenger from Challenge, Gray, and Christmas. The company planned to decrease staff numbers fully after the DOGE initiative began operating.
