Federal Agencies Reversing Cuts Made During Trump Administration
The Department of Government Efficiency, led by Elon Musk, officially ended on July 4, 2026, after a tumultuous period of cost-cutting efforts. However, multiple federal agencies are now hiring back jobs lost during Musk’s tenure, with the National Endowment for the Humanities contacting former employees for interviews. The Office of Personnel Management has listed over 104,000 new positions on USA Jobs, marking a significant reversal of the previous cuts. This development was first reported by The Independent.
