The only silver lining in this whole mess is that it's going to be 36 (eight of them tenured) instead of 52 people, as it was originally planned in May. Two departments are being eliminated - University Studies and Conflict Resolution. All to save $15.9 million.

I'm not sure of the exact timing, but I am sure that there will be several more layoffs before the year is over. It's just a matter of when.

No rhyme or reason for the chosen: some long term tenured, some newer, but good at their jobs. That department was being hammered by senior leadership about meeting SLAs. They will regret it later when the staffing is needed later in the year. Why, Lord, oh why?

A representative from the Flower Hill Institute noted that remaining USDA staff are shouldering increased workloads. These workforce reductions have impacted the Meat and Poultry Processing Technical Assistance Program. The institute continues to aid processors in navigating these new challenges. Many processors previously relied on specific personnel for grant reporting and documentation.

Iowa experienced its highest number of layoffs in twelve months during June, with 656 workers affected. Whirlpool Corporation and the Iowa Department of Management were the primary drivers of these job cuts.
