Trump extends hiring freeze another three months

President Donald Trump has extended his federal government hiring freeze for another three months.

Trump signed a memorandum to bar civilian hirings through July 15 on Thursday.

“No federal civilian position that is presently vacant may be filled, and no new position may be created,” the memorandum states. The extension does not apply to the military or positions related to national or public security or the Executive Office of the President, the document states.

According to a White House fact sheet on the memorandum, if the hiring freeze is not extended and expires on July 15, agencies will only be able to hire one employee for every four that depart from federal service.
