http://dailycaller.com/2018/09/09/epa-sheds-jobs-wheeler-trump/The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) shed approximately 1,200 jobs as roughly 1,600 employees departed and fewer than 400 new employees were hired during President Donald Trump’s first year and a half in office.
Departing employees included “at least 260 scientists, 185 ‘environmental protection specialists’ and 106 engineers,†according to the Washington Post.
The EPA’s workforce is now down 8 percent to a size it has not been since former president Ronald Reagan was in office, reported the WaPo.
