  • Workers axed as part of DOGE's mass layoffs are facing shrinking job openings and a market "frozen" by uncertainty, experts said.

The article from Newsweek discusses the challenges faced by federal workers who have been fired due to not complying with the federal vaccine mandate, as they enter a highly competitive job market.
