About HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. To Cut 10,000 More Jobs At HHS, Shrinking Workforce By 25%

In a major restructuring move, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. plans to cut an additional 10,000 full-time positions, reducing the department's workforce by 25%. These cuts follow 10,000 voluntary departures since Trump's presidency began. The overhaul aims to save nearly $2 billion annually by consolidating divisions, eliminating five regional offices, and centralizing operations. Additionally, a new subdivision will combine efforts on addiction, mental health, toxic substances, and other programs, with a focus on reversing chronic disease trends.
