根据美国劳工统计局最新发布的数据，特朗普政府已将联邦政府雇员人数削减至近60年来的最低水平。
The Trump administration has reduced the federal workforce to the lowest point in roughly 60 years, according to newly released data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
截至8月，联邦政府雇员人数仅为267万，较特朗普总统上任时的300余万有所减少。这一数字也创下了1966年以来的新低。
As of August, just 2.67 million people were employed by the federal government, down from just over 3 million when President Donald Trump took office, marking the lowest headcount since 1966, per the BLS.
特朗普政府预计这些裁员举措能带来可观的财政节约。美国人事管理局预测，仅通过“延迟辞职计划”一项，每年便可节省超过200亿美元。不过，裁员也带来了相应的代价。
The administration has estimated those cuts will produce significant savings, with OPM projecting that its Deferred Resignation Program alone will save more than $20 billion a year. But the reductions have also come with costs.
据美国财政部监察机构透露，由于国税局大幅裁减人员，导致负责税务审查与征收的工作人员减少了近1万人，该局通过税务审查所获得的收入也随之锐减35%——从2024财年的约100亿美元降至2025财年的65亿美元。
Revenue collected from IRS examinations fell 35%, from about $10 billion in fiscal 2024 to $6.5 billion in fiscal 2025, as the agency was undergoing steep workforce reductions that ultimately cut examination and collection staffing by nearly 10,000 employees, according to a Treasury watchdog.
上诉法院维持了禁止国税局向移民与海关执法局共享纳税人数据的裁决。2022年，时任总统乔·拜登争取到在未来10年内向国税局拨款近800亿美元，用于系统升级、提升纳税服务品质以及增聘包括执法人员在内的工作人员。特朗普政府还提议在2027年进一步削减国税局的预算。
APPEALS COURT UPHOLDS ORDER BLOCKING IRS FROM SHARING TAXPAYER DATA WITH ICE Former President Joe Biden secured nearly $80 billion in 2022 for the IRS over 10 years to upgrade its systems, improve taxpayer service and hire more staff, including enforcement personnel. The Trump administration has proposed further IRS cuts for 2027. Not all agencies have been hit the same by the Trump administration’s cuts.
不过，特朗普政府的裁员措施对各机构的影响程度并不相同。教育部、农业部以及住房和城市发展部的人员编制遭到大幅削减；而负责落实总统移民政策的国家安全部，其雇员人数则基本维持原状。
The Departments of Education, Agriculture and Housing and Urban Development have been cut particularly hard, whereas headcount at the Department of Homeland Security, which has been responsible for carrying out much of the president’s immigration agenda, has remained largely unchanged.
前国会预算办公室主任警告称，特朗普提出的发放5000美元补贴的承诺，很可能成为又一未能兑现的竞选承诺。
需要指出的是，劳工统计局统计的政府雇员人数并不包括约135万名现役军人以及约10万名情报机构工作人员。
TRUMP’S $5K CHECKS COULD JOIN STACK OF PAST UNFULFILLED PROMISES, FORMER CONGRESS BUDGET CHIEF WARNS Not included in the BLS’ count of government employees are the roughly 1.35 million members of the armed services or the approximately 100,000 people employed by intelligence agencies.
缩减联邦政府雇员规模是特朗普在2024年竞选期间的重要承诺之一。他声称联邦政府人员编制臃肿，因此誓言要精简机构。这一计划最终由政府效率部与人事管理局牵头实施。
Cutting the size of the federal workforce, a project that was eventually spearheaded by the Department of Government Efficiency and the Office of Personnel Management, was a major campaign promise during Trump’s 2024 run as he vowed to slim down what he said was a bloated government.
人事管理局发现，联邦医疗福利项目中存在高达5亿美元的欺诈与浪费现象。据政府问责局统计，各联邦机构为参与“延迟辞职计划”的雇员支付了约67亿美元；该计划允许这些雇员在正式离职前继续领取薪水并暂停工作。此外，“公共服务伙伴关系组织”估算，政府在重新招聘那些因裁员而被解雇的雇员时，又额外支出了1210万美元。
OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT UNCOVERS $500M IN FRAUD AND WASTE IN FEDERAL HEALTH BENEFITS PROGRAMS GAO found that agencies spent about $6.7 billion paying employees who took part in the Deferred Resignation Program, which allowed many of them to stop working while still collecting a paycheck until they officially left government. The Partnership for Public Service also estimated the government spent $12.1 million rehiring workers who had previously been fired during the administration’s workforce reductions.
尽管大规模裁员主要发生在特朗普执政的第一年，但这一年间联邦政府在薪资方面的支出仍比拜登政府同期的支出额高出3%。
Despite the cuts, most of which happened during the president’s first year in office, the Trump administration spent 3% more on federal salaries during its first year in power than the Biden administration did during its initial year.
如果共和党在中期选举中获胜，特朗普承诺将向所有成年美国公民发放5000美元的支票。这一实现可能性极低的承诺若得以落实，将耗费国家1.2万亿至1.35万亿美元的资金。福克斯新闻数字频道联系白宫寻求置评，但未获回应。
If Republicans win the midterm elections, the president has promised to cut $5,000 checks to all adult American citizens, a long-shot promise that, if followed through on, would cost the nation between $1.2 trillion and $1.35 trillion. The White House did not respond to a request for comment when reached by Fox News Digital.
