Director of the Office of Management and Budget: Federal government layoffs during the shutdown could reach 10,000.

According to a report from AXIOS on October 16, Jin10 data, Vought, the director of the Office of Management and Budget, stated on Wednesday that more than 10,000 federal workers could be laid off during the government shutdown. This is more than double the number of layoffs mentioned by the White House in court documents last week. In documents submitted to the court last week, the White House indicated plans to lay off at least 4,100 federal workers. When asked about related issues, Vought said, “This number 'could be higher'. I think we may ultimately lay off more than 10,000.”
