The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is undergoing significant changes as it strives to align with budgetary constraints. Per the FTC Chair, Andrew Ferguson, the agency initiated the fiscal year with a staffing level of 1,315 employees. However, this figure has been reduced by 95 personnel through deferred resignations, voluntary separations, and retirement agreements. Looking forward, Ferguson anticipates further downsizing, predicting that the staff count may drop to approximately 1,100 full-time employees, which would mark the lowest workforce level in a decade. This strategic move underscores an effort to ensure the FTC operates effectively within its financial limits. Further details can be found in the National Law Journal.
