C10-2 Trump's Federal Hiring Freeze

The Washington Post just released an article about President Trump's recent actions in the White House. The hiring freeze that Trump claimed he'd put into effect after his presidency was signed today. Trump has made it so federal jobs and military cannot be hired and the extent of the freeze hasn't been determined. The National Treasury Employees Union, Tony Reardon said this about the freeze, "Our government depends upon highly-trained and experienced federal workers being able to carry on with their important work. This puts up a substantial roadblock for agencies," and I agree with him. This will hurt a lot of people applying for jobs at the federal level, those of which include my Mother. This is a specifically sore subject with me because my Mother recently got offered two high-paying jobs at our local military base, however she can't take them because of Trump's freeze. The effects of this freeze are widespread and Trump is facing copious amounts of criticism and backlash for his actions. Hopefully the freeze will be lifted soon through compromise and or changing policy.
