1,54,000 US govt workers to exit this week amid shutdown fears
Nearly 1,54,000 federal employees will leave US government payroll this week after accepting buyouts. It's the largest single-year exodus of US civil servants in nearly 80 years. The resignations come as Congress faces a Tuesday deadline to authorise additional funding or trigger a government shutdown. Buyouts were part of a Trump administration program designed to make cuts to federal workforce.
