The executive command of Donald Trump to produce 'large -scale reductions' in the federal workforce can lead the doge directly to agencies that are biding under Joe Biden.
According to data from the US Bureau or Labor Statistics, the federal workforce grew by 4.8 percent in the first three years of the previous presidential administration.
During Trump's first term, that rate was only 2.6 percent.
The Executive Order Trump signed on Tuesday, it clearly states: “There are too many federal employees” and “Trump strives to reduce the size and scope of the federal government.”
The administration is already working on this and starts various initiatives to push some of the 2.2 million civilian employees from the federal umbrella.
On the first day of the president, for example, for example, he introduced a major federal recruitment with a few exceptions, so that the growth of the government is effectively stopped.
And thanks to the doge of Elon Musk and her government -trimming lieutenants, employees of the more than 430 federal agencies now get extra performance assessments that can be the scene for more FBI that are rejected.
Then the Trump administration will probably look at the 10 government agencies that grew disproportionately under Biden.

The federal workforce grew nearly five percent under the first three years of Joe Biden
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs grew its workforce by 19 percent under Biden, according to federal data, making it the agency that grew the most under the previous administration.
USAID
The agency with the second most growth under Biden is the American Bureau for International Development (USAID). It grew its workforce of more than 17 percent under the Democrat.
DOGE has focused both agencies directly from the gate after it was discovered that they sponsored some of the most geographical diversity, equity and inclusion (dei) initiatives everywhere in the government.
Financing for transgender operas and drag shows in Latin -America sponsored by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and that also applies to the contracts of USAID to expand LGBT initiatives in Serbia and beyond.
Department of Energy
The energy departments and also quickly expanded under Biden.
Energie saw its workforce increase nearly 17 percent during the first three years of Biden.
Although DOGE already drops that Bureau, because 2,000 employees were reportedly fired there on Friday.

Housing and Urban Development Department
The Housing and Urban Development (HUD) department also grew considerably under Biden.
In the meantime, Hud grew by almost 13 percent, although it is also in the midst of Doge'd.
“I am happy to announce the Doge Task Force here at HUD,” Hud Sec. Scott Turner said in a video that was placed on X this week. “We will be very detailed and intentional about every dollar spent on serving tribal, national and urban communities throughout America.”
Securities and Exchange Commission
The next up are the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and General Services Administration (GSA).
Under Biden, the SEC grew its workforce by 12 percent.
Reports have indicated that SEC employees are carefully waiting to see if do-related job reductions will shake their offices.
Environmental protection agency
The EPA grew a little more than 11 percent under Biden, but those recruitments are probably already reversed.
Reports have surfaced that more than 1,000 'probation period' employees were informed that they could be terminated, while more than 150 employees who work on environmental rights have already been taken on leave.
General service administration
The GSA also grew with just over 11 percent under the previous democratic government.
Employees there have already broadcast their fear that their job could be terminated after DOG employees arrived to interview them.
Employees for different agencies have kept rallies outside their workplaces to press back on Trump's policy aimed at reducing their departments
Ministry of Agriculture
The workforce of the Ministry of Agriculture grew by 10 percent under Biden, but under Trump's first term it was reduced by four percent.
Ministry of Labor
The workforce of the Department of Labor was reduced by almost 12 percent under Trump, although it became almost seven percent under Biden. This agency could again see steep cuts under the leadership of Trump.
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
The FDIC, which only grew four percent under Biden, could be folded in another desk, suggesting reports.
Trump's team is still approaching whether he should roll the FDIC in the Ministry of Finance.
Finally, the educational department, which grew four percent under Biden, could be completely abolished by the Trump government.
“I would like it to be closed immediately,” Trump told reporters from the department, and added that it is 'a big job'.
