State Dept. saw 12 percent drop in foreign affairs workers in first 8 months of 2017

The number of foreign affairs employees at the State Department dropped by nearly 12 percent during President Trump's first eight months in office, according to data published by the Office of Personnel Management.

Between December 2016 and September 2017, the number of State Department employees under the foreign affairs series dropped from 2,580 to 2,273. The decrease was reported by the federal news website "Government Executive."

Overall, the State Department's workforce fell by about 6.3 percent between September 2016 and September 2017, the most recent data available.

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has said that he wants to cut the department's nearly 76,000-person workforce by 8 percent as part of his effort to "redesign" the agency.

   In spite of my Texas Pride, I've had reservations about this Guy from the get-go.



 but, so far the World hasn't blown up and he's whittling away at State, this is a good thing.

Foreign affairs must take precedent over Foreign affairs.
