JPL statement issued on Nov. 12, 2024:

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. This reduction affects approximately 325 of our colleagues, an impact of about 5% of our workforce. The impacts are occurring across technical, business, and support areas of the Laboratory. These are painful but necessary adjustments that will enable us to adhere to our budget while continuing our important work for NASA and our nation.

Let's wait and see what happens with the Republican's in total control of both houses now. It should not affect Europa Clipper whatever happens in the next four years.
