Since the inauguration of Javier Milei as President of the Nation, the number of State workers has fallen by 19%, reflecting the sustained process of reorganization of the public sector.
According to available data, in November 2023, the National State had 343,357 employees, while currently the number has fallen to 276,952.
This implies that a total of 66,405 people were disengaged or left their posts, within the framework of the policy aimed at reducing state spending, maintaining the fiscal surplus and being able to continue to lower taxes.
Of the total number of casualties, 44,856 correspond to the National Public Administration (APN), while the remaining 21,549 were registered with state companies and corporations. The cut was not homogeneous, but it had a greater impact on some specific segments of
the state structure.
In the centralized administration, the reduction reached 22,461 workers (-16%), while in the decentralized administration, there were 4,278 disassociations (-17%). For its part, the category of “other entities” registered a decrease of 1,537 employees, equivalent to 10%
