Trump EPA administration has reduced more than 3000 jobs, 23% of labor

US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said on Friday she plans to cut her workforce by 23% and close her research and development.

The loss of more than 3,000 employees comes after the dismissal and incentives to leave the agency amid the extensive efforts of the Trump administration to streamline the federal government.

“Under the guidance of President Trump, EPA looked closely at our operations to ensure that the agency is better equipped than if – to ensure our main mission to protect human health and the environment while providing a great American return,” the EPA administrator is Lee Zeldin said in a statement.

As part of the EPA restructuring, she said she plans to open a new office of applied sciences and environmental solutions to replace research and development, saying that the new office will allow him to focus on research “more than if before.”

This happens a week after the Supreme Court ruled on the clearing of the administration for mass dismissal.
