Jpl Layoffs 2024 Presidential. Today was a difficult day at caltech, most acutely for our colleagues at jpl, where approximately 325 employees received layoff notifications. The jet propulsion laboratory, nasa's chief center for planetary exploration, is conducting its second round of layoffs in 2024, reducing its workforce by another 5%.

In february, jpl, which plays an integral role in nasa’s mars exploration program, laid off about 530 employees, roughly 8% of its workforce. While we have taken various measures to meet our current fy’25 budget allocation, we have reached the difficult decision to reduce the jpl workforce through layoffs.
