FUNDING CUTS CREATE JOB
- Job listings related to research and development in the U.S. have declined by 18% since January 2021, while total job vacancies across various sectors have decreased by 4%.
- This decline follows increased funding cuts to government agencies, universities, and private contractors announced under the Trump administration.
- Major institutions such as the CDC and universities including MIT, Columbia, Harvard, and Northwestern reduced staff, froze hiring, and cut graduate slots due to canceled federal grants.
- A survey found 18% of early-stage biopharma companies expect to delay projects and 15% may postpone hiring and lay off staff amid policy uncertainty and funding cuts.
- These job losses and funding restrictions have increased competition for research jobs and could significantly harm long-term economic growth, potentially reducing GDP similarly to the Great Recession.
