After the Trump administration's recent push for mass firings of civil servant employees, networks are questioning how this may impact the labor market. The Ford School's Betsey Stevenson sat down with CNBC to discuss why these layoffs of federal employees in mass numbers look different than typical labor market trends. Stevenson claimed, "You know if 5 million people lose a job every month, this is small compared to that. Except for most of those people who lose a job, they're not actually losing it, they're quitting. They're planning to leave, they have a plan for what they're doing next. I think a lot of these federal workers were absolutely blind-sided, and that's going to change their behavior."
