Just three federal agencies make up more than half of the total federal workforce reductions that have occurred so far under the Trump administration, according to data compiled by the nonprofit Partnership for Public Service.  The Departments of Defense, Treasury and Agriculture have cut their staffing levels this year by a cumulative total of about 106,000 employees, out of an estimated 199,000 federal employees across the government who have left their jobs since January, either voluntarily or by force.
