Agenția guvernamentală americană care oferă beneficii pentru zeci de milioane de vârstnici din SUA a anunțat vineri că va concedia 7.000 de angajați, ca parte a planului administrației Trump de a reduce dimensiunea aparatului federal.
The U.S. Social Security Administration (SSA) plans to lay off 7,000 employees as part of President Trump's initiative to reduce the federal workforce. The SSA, which distributes benefits to over 73 million elderly and disabled individuals, aims to cut its workforce from approximately 57,000 to 50,000 and close several regional offices. Critics express concerns about the potential impact on service delivery. Additionally, two senior SSA officials have resigned, citing concerns over federal oversight. The Trump administration and the Department of Governmental Efficiency (DOGE) have been working to reduce the federal workforce by over 100,000 employees, a move supported by Trump and Elon Musk, who argue that the federal government is bloated and inefficient.
