Trump administration backtracks on eliminating thousands of national parks employees
Briefly

In response to strong public outcry and advocacy efforts, the Trump administration has decided to increase seasonal hiring at the National Park Service. Originally, thousands of job offers for seasonal employees were rescinded, but a recent memo reveals that the agency can now hire 7,700 seasonal workers, above the previous norm of approximately 6,300. This decision contrasts with the administration's broader hiring freeze and purges of federal employees. However, the memo does not address the recently terminated 1,000 permanent staff members, highlighting ongoing concerns about the agency's staffing stability.
The memo only addressed temporary seasonal employees and did not mention the roughly 1,000 members of the National Park Service's permanent workforce who were fired last Friday.
It looks like the Trump administration has reconsidered after a loud public outcry about job cuts at the National Park Service, leading to increased hiring.
