Podcasts about job cuts

Government employment has long been a reliable pathway to Black middle-class prosperity. More than 18% of the federal workforce is Black versus about 12% of the civilian workforce overall. That means that the estimated 260,000 federal jobs eliminated this year by President Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency will be particularly felt by Black federal workers. But first: The House Committee working on the Republican tax bill could be in for a long day.

Episode 95: Tariffs, Layoffs & a Slowing Economy – Are We Already in Trouble? This week on Drunk Real Estate, we unpack the growing signs that the economy might already be in the early stages of a slowdown or recession. From empty shipping ports and declining imports to rising tariffs, inflation pressure, and layoffs, the data is painting a confusing—but concerning—picture. We discuss:

Peter Burke, Minister for Enterprise, Tourism and Employment, speaks ahead of a meeting with senior Irish management at Intel, after the chipmaker announced job cuts last week.

ACT's leader says now is a good time for the Government to think about its organisation. David Seymour wants a limit on Cabinet Minister numbers - with none outside Cabinet, and only one associate minister for finance. Seymour says there are currently ministers with seven different departments, and departments answering to 19 ministers. He says he doesn't expect change pre-election - but believes Chris Luxon gets his viewpoint. "Chris cut his teeth as a manager - and I'm sure that it's something that, without speaking for him, he will intuitively get." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio spent part of his Thursday gilding President Donald Trump's lily, saying during an Oval Office Q&A with reporters that ‘no leader is working harder to prevent wars or end them.' Rubio's confident air, however, runs contrary to reports of fear and chaos reigning at the State Department under his leadership. Earlier this week, the agency released plans for a pretty sizable reorganization. They call for the elimination of hundreds of domestic positions and the axing of offices that focus on things like war crimes and global conflict. Nahal Toosi, senior foreign affairs correspondent for Politico, explains what the State Department reorganization will mean for American foreign diplomacy, and what it says about the Trump administration's worldview.And in headlines: Trump begged Russian President Vladimir Putin to “STOP” bombing Ukraine amid ongoing peace talks, Trump asked the Supreme Court to let his administration enforce its ban on trans troops in the military after a lower court judge put it on hold, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reportedly had Signal installed on a desktop computer at the Pentagon.Show Notes:Read Nahal Toosi's work - https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2025/04/17/trump-us-africa-relationship-column-00293046Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

A wave of job cuts in the US hit health agencies hard, especially those that impact women.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Trump administration and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) remain in the headlines for threatening to cut funding and personnel for a myriad of federal programs. Even in situations in which funding and employees have been reinstated, the pauses continue to have real-world consequences across America.Robert Collins, a political analyst and professor of urban studies and public policy at Dillard University, tells us how these cuts and freezes are impacting some parts of the U.S. more than others – in particular, red states and rural areas. A series of genetic testing on seafood served across Louisiana revealed that multiple restaurants are serving foreign-grown shrimp, while presenting it as domestically-produced seafood – which is against the law. This is a violation of Louisiana's seafood labelling law. SeaD Consulting has been conducting tests across the Gulf South and sharing its results. Its founder, commercial fishery scientist David Williams, tells us more about their findings and what they means for the state of the seafood industry.A coffee roaster and distributor in New Orleans is celebrating 100 years of business.

Weather forecasts and climate research could be threatened by the recent Trump administration job cuts at federal agencies.The National Weather Service and its parent agency, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, cut hundreds of jobs in late February. And NOAA is tasked with cutting an additional 10 percent of its workforce, according to PBS NewsHour. If those cuts move forward, nearly 20 percent of NOAA's 13,000-person workforce would be eliminated. Fewer workers could mean less data that meteorologists and climate researchers depend on to plan and keep people safe when severe weather hits.MPR News host Angela Davis and her guest talk about how this could affect Minnesotans. Guest: Paul Douglas is a meteorologist with 50 years of broadcast television and radio experience. He provides daily print and online weather services for the Minnesota Star Tribune. He's also worked at KARE 11 and WCCO in the Twin Cities. And he is the founder and president of Praedictix, a company that produces daily weather reports for web sites, newspapers, cable channels and TV broadcasters. 

Members of the House of Delegates' Emergency Committee on the Impacts of Federal Workforce and Funding Reductions are on the road, and they're hearing from people in Northern Virginia. Michael Pope is in Alexandria with the latest.

The National Weather Service has been around for more than 150 years – their mission is explicitly to provide forecasts and warnings to protect lives and property. Experts warn that its hollowing out could have long-lasting implications.

“We made a mistake” are tough words for any politician, but in the heat of an election campaign, they can really hurt. In a spectacular reversal, Peter Dutton has walked back his policy to sack 41,000 public servants, saying he’ll now wait for people to quit and will no longer force those who remain back into the office. Dutton’s backtracking doesn’t just raise questions about sincerity – it also leaves the opposition with a giant black hole when it comes to funding their other election promises. Today, special correspondent for The Saturday Paper, Jason Koutsoukis, on the panic inside the coalition – and what it means for Peter Dutton’s leadership.

This week's Expert is Jeff McIntyre, Vice President, Liver Programs at the Global Liver Institute. His major topic is how recent high-level FDA job cuts might affect MASH drug and diagnostics development. He also shares reactions to FibroSIGHT, HistoIndex's new digital pathology service for clinical practice. Highlight: Recent job cuts at the FDA will produce chaos in government and slow response to any emerging crises.Second Highlight: Patient self-advocacy becomes even more important in this environment.The conversation takes place on April 1, which lends context to Jeff's opening comment about the rate and nature of change in Washington, DC. He and Roger quickly focus on high-level job cuts at the FDA. Jeff believes that the clearest outcome from these changes is that the government will be less able to respond promptly and in a medically appropriate manner to future health crises. Jeff agrees with former FDA Commissioner Rob Califf's comment that the FDA as we know it "is dead," and that we have little idea what the future holds. A slower-moving, more chaotic government with a Secretary of HHS who minimizes pharmacotherapies for alternative therapies presents a challenge for all SLD patients. Jeff states that patients need to become more vigilant self-advocates (even more than they are today). He also identifies patient advocacy organizations like GLI as a place patients can go to seek the guidance and support they need from patient advocates. Finally, the conversation turns to discuss FibroSIGHT. Jeff describes FibroSIGHT as "exactly where we should be and should not be at the same time," a technology that takes a significant step forward in understanding and patient support, but one that ties us to biopsy as a standard for clinical care. Jeff and Roger agree this issue will play out over the coming years.

Meanwhile, his administration continues its crackdown on foreign students—two PhD candidates with legal visas were detained, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio admitted to revoking 300+ student visas for alleged protest involvement. Trump also announced sweeping 25% tariffs on foreign cars and parts, which analysts warn will hike prices by $4,000–$15,000 per vehicle.

After using his India trip to tout the importance of security, Christopher Luxon has spent his last day in Mumbai facing questions about defence job cuts at home. Deputy political editor Craig McCulloch reports.

—Here are 3 big things you need to know—   One — The Pentagon is preparing to eliminate between 50 and 60-thousand civilian jobs over the next few months.  On Tuesday, a senior defense official said the job cuts will hopefully happen via voluntary resignations and by not replacing workers who leave.  The Pentagon will also begin firing probationary employees.   Two ---- The Michigan House has approved a bill to lower income taxes to four-point-zero-five-percent from four-and-a-quarter-percent.  The bill would restore the tax rate that was in place for 2023 after the General Fund revenue grew faster than inflation.  In 2024, the income tax rate went back up following an opinion issued by Attorney General Dana Nessel that the reduction should be temporary.   And number three -- One of the biggest auto shows in Canada says it's removing Tesla from the event over safety concerns.  The Vancouver International Auto Show starts today and bills itself as one of North America's premiere auto shows.  In a statement Tuesday, the director of the event said Tesla vehicles were being removed from the show over concerns for the safety of attendees, exhibitors, and staff. 

In this episode, we dive into the origins of the Department of Veterans Affairs, exploring how it was created and why America holds a sacred trust with its servicemen and women.

Tune in for a deep dive into the past, present, and future of veteran care in America. #TheGedunkShow #VeteransAffairs #SacredTrust #VeteranCare #VA #Podcast Follow us here: https://linktr.ee/valormedianetwork

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA, fired 800 employees earlier this month. Experts are warning that cuts to the agency could have serious impacts on weather forecasts and climate research, but As Harshawn Ratanpal reports, University of Missouri students are grappling with what cuts to the agency mean for their careers.

The broader St. Louis economy would not necessarily be left in turmoil if the Trump administration cuts some of the nearly 26,000 federal employees in the region, but there could be negative trickle-down effects. STLPR Metro East reporter Will Bauer and interim managing editor Jonathan Ahl discuss their reporting on this topic.

#796 | Sir Jim Ratcliffe is undertaking a revolution at Old Trafford. Much of it has attracted a negative reaction.
