This increase compares with a 0.3% average increase during the second term of the Obama administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe title=\"Federal workforce over time\" aria-label=\"Interactive line chart\" id=\"datawrapper-chart-t21pv\" src=\"https:\/\/datawrapper.dwcdn.net\/t21pv\/6\/\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;\" height=\"300\" data-external=\"1\"><\/iframe><script type=\"text\/javascript\">!function(){\"use strict\";window.addEventListener(\"message\",(function(a){if(void 0!==a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll(\"iframe\");for(var t in a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"])for(var r=0;r<e.length;r++)if(e[r].contentWindow===a.source){var i=a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"][t]+\"px\";e[r].style.height=i}}}))}();<\/script>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the total number of employees government-wide only rose slightly<a> <\/a>under President Trump, more notable shifts occurred at the agency level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several agencies that oversee and enforce national labor standards saw marked declines. For example, the National Labor Relations Board, which enforces labor laws concerning collective bargaining and unfair labor practices, saw its workforce decrease by an average of 4.7% during Trump\u2019s term. In addition, the Department of Labor\u2019s workforce decreased by an average of 3.1% and one of its subcomponents, the Woman's Bureau, fell by an average of 9.4% during each year of the administration\u2014the largest decrease of any subcomponent within the agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe title=\"Largest agency workforce shifts during the Trump administration\" aria-label=\"Table\" id=\"datawrapper-chart-iIkgX\" src=\"https:\/\/datawrapper.dwcdn.net\/iIkgX\/7\/\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;\" height=\"816\" data-external=\"1\"><\/iframe><script type=\"text\/javascript\">!function(){\"use strict\";window.addEventListener(\"message\",(function(a){if(void 0!==a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll(\"iframe\");for(var t in a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"])for(var r=0;r<e.length;r++)if(e[r].contentWindow===a.source){var i=a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"][t]+\"px\";e[r].style.height=i}}}))}();<\/script>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These workforce declines aligned with the Trump administration\u2019s budgetary priorities, which consistently led to reduced funding for Labor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, the administration\u2019s first budget, issued in fiscal 2018, called for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2017\/03\/15\/us\/politics\/trump-budget-proposal.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">21% decrease<\/a> in Department of Labor funding from the prior fiscal year. This trend continued until the end of the president\u2019s term, with the fiscal 2021 budget reducing the agency\u2019s funding by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncsl.org\/ncsl-in-dc\/publications-and-resources\/president-s-fy-2021-budget-analysis-breakdown.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">10.5%<\/a> compared with fiscal 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, agencies that managed and implemented the administration\u2019s policy priorities saw increased funding over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, one of President Trump\u2019s priorities was to secure the nation\u2019s borders. In fact, in his first year in office, Trump signed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dhs.gov\/executive-orders-protecting-homeland\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">four executive orders<\/a> related to border security and immigration law enforcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Accordingly, the Department of Homeland Security\u2019s workforce increased by an average of 1.7% per year from December 2016 to December 2020. Several DHS subcomponents drove this increase, including the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and Customs and Border Protection, which increased by an average of 5.2% and 2.0%, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another administration priority was to decrease the trade deficit with China and <a href=\"https:\/\/ustr.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/files\/Press\/Reports\/2018\/AR\/2018%20Annual%20Report%20I.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">renegotiate trade deals<\/a> to better support America\u2019s domestic producers. Workforce changes at the U.S. Office of the Trade Representative, which increased by an average of 3.3% per year, reflect those efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, the Department of Veterans Affairs saw its workforce increase by an average of 3.1% throughout the Trump presidency. This increase resulted largely from increased spending on veterans\u2019 issues. The fiscal 2021 budget, for instance, included billions for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncsl.org\/ncsl-in-dc\/publications-and-resources\/president-s-fy-2021-budget-analysis-breakdown.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">expansion of veterans\u2019 health care programs,<\/a> including suicide prevention initiatives and opioid prevention and treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These trends make it clear that despite the federal workforce\u2019s overall growth under the Trump administration, certain agencies experienced increases and decreases based on the president\u2019s priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See our <em>full <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/ourpublicservice.org\/fed-figures-the-federal-workforce-and-the-trump-administration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Fed Figures analysis<\/em><\/a> <em>for more on how the federal workforce changed under the Trump administration, including data on resignations and retirements, the race and ethnicity of federal employees, and scientific workforce trends.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Trump administration came into office with the expressed intention of shrinking the size of the federal government and its workforce.
