“Trump Administration Slashes CDC Workforce by 10 Percent in Sweeping Cuts”
SUMMARY:
The Trump administration is eliminating probationary positions at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), resulting in the dismissal of nearly 1,300 probationary employees, about 10% of the CDC’s workforce. Affected employees will receive four weeks of paid leave, but the timing of the notices is unclear. This decision follows the swearing-in of Robert F.

The CDC, which has about 13,000 employees and a $9.2 billion budget, is tasked with public health protection but faces uncertainty due to these cuts. Kennedy’s priorities include chronic disease prevention and food policy, though experts question how these can be achieved amid staffing and budget cuts.
