Federal Reserve will reduce staff by 10% in coming years, Powell memo says

The Federal Reserve is planning to reduce its headcount by 10% over the next few years, according to a memo from central bank chair Jerome Powell. The memo, obtained by CNBC, stated that the Fed will offer deferred resignation to some older employees as part of the staff reduction efforts.

Powell emphasized the importance of periodically reassessing staffing and resources to ensure the organization is able to meet its statutory mission. He instructed leaders within the Fed to find ways to consolidate functions, modernize business practices, and right-size the organization.

One method for reducing staff will be to offer a voluntary deferred resignation program to employees who are fully eligible to retire by the end of 2027. The central bank currently has just under 24,000 employees, and a 10% reduction would bring that number below 22,000.

The decision to cut staff comes as the Trump administration has been advocating for cost cuts across civil service agencies. Elon Musk, spearheading the Department of Government Efficiency, has been vocal about the need to streamline government organizations. However, Powell’s memo did not mention Musk or his views on the Fed’s staffing levels as a factor in the decision.

The planned staff cuts were first reported by Bloomberg News. It is important to note that the Federal Reserve is taking proactive measures to ensure efficiency and effectiveness in carrying out its responsibilities.

This news highlights the ongoing efforts within the Federal Reserve to adapt to changing priorities and environments. By making strategic adjustments to its workforce, the central bank aims to enhance its operational efficiency and better fulfill its mandate.
