"A year later, people have plowed through savings, cashed out retirement funds and moved in with friends and relatives. Former U.S.A.I.D. workers who have done informal surveys estimate that less than half have found full-time work, with many making less than before. An estimated third are unemployed. Others are in part-time work." https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/21/us/politics/usaid-former-employees.html #PublicHealth #GlobalHealth #USAID #ForeignAid #ForeignAssistance #development #DOGE #USpol #workers
